We are using Outlook 2002 with Exchange. In the past we've set up out laptop users to be able to work offline as well as online. I'm looking for a Best Practices approach to setting them up.
In the past we've always set up one send/receive group (ex. the default "All Accounts") to online only (although one admin sets it to Online/Offline). Then we modify the setting for the group by checking all the folders to be synchronized and save that.
Then we set up another send/receive group (ex. "Offline") to offline only. Then we modify the setting for the group by checking only those folders we want synchronized when offline and save that.
What is the best way to set these up? Should both groups be the same name say an "All Accounts" for online with all the folders checked and another "All Accounts" for offline with only the ones we want synchronized when the user is offline? Do you need to check ALL the folders for online or by leaving them blank will Outlook sync them by default (I ask this because my regular account they are all unchecked).
Thanks for any feedback.
