This article was previously published under Q87153

SUMMARY

Version 3.1 of Microsoft Mail for the Macintosh keeps a copy of the global address book on local workstations in the event that offline operation is needed. This data is stored in the MS Mail Cache file.

A forced download of the address book occurs immediately if the offline preference is enabled and the update button selected. The offline preference is located in the preferences section under the Other icon. Any additional resources needed for offline operation will be downloaded at this time as well.

The address list is automatically checked at logout time. The user can control the length of time between automatic downloads in the Other preferences screen. An automatic update can range from 1 to 365 days; the default is 3 days.
