View source for Setting Outlook to use cached mode



You might end up sending an email from [[CCMDB.mdb]] from a location where you might not have network cable or wifi. 

When you do, CCMDB.mdb will hang up when you try to generate a colour.  

To make sure you can generate emails while off-line, follow these steps. You will need to do this the first time you use a laptop where you have not done this yet.

#Click the “file” tab in Outlook (see red circle in screen shot below)
#Click the “Account Settings” button, then "Account Settings"
#Click "Change..."
#Make sure that "Use Cached Exchange Mode" is checked
#Click "Next", then "Finish"
#you may now need to wait for Outlook to set up the data it needs to run off the network
#Click "Close"

After this you should be able to generate and send emails even when not connected to the network. They will be processed when Outlook next has a network connection. 

The steps also make available the little green and red icon below in the purple circle. You should not have to do anything with that, just FYI.
