Cached Exchange mode only works if you deliver messages to your Mailbox. If you want to deliver to a personal folder, i.e. not have your mail stored on the server, then uncheck Cached Exchange mode in Account Settings.
 
thanks chipk

i have tried that but still i get the error popping up.let me send the whole error message. "the personal folder file .pst you selected does not match the format of your offline folder .ost. to correct this select a personal folders file that supports Unicode or disable the use of offline folders"

right now i have turned off cached exchange mode and the error still pops up when i try to get maill delivered in my personal folder

i finally found the a way around the prolem. to disable offline personal folders you uncheck cached exchange mode as chipk said then click on more settings then select offline personal folders and then disable offline personal folders.
