Synchronize Outlook 2007 with PC

[handle789]

Hi, my Outlook 2007 is set (by someone else) to synchronize the mail on the exchange server with the folders on my laptop running windows XP. But there is a memory shortage issue and I kept on getting the popup "out of memory" message and have to close Outlook. So I would like to stop the synchronization process. Could someone please post the procedure on how to break the sysnchronization for Outlook 2007? I searched google but have not found the procedure. Thank you.

You could set it in Offline mode.

Tools - Settings - Double click your email address in the middle - uncheck "Use Cached Exchanged Mode". Restart Outlook.

Thank you for your answers, which lead to some other questions.

1) paella33, what does it mean by "set it in Offline mode"? What is the difference and advantage or disadvantage? And how do I set this in Outlook 2007?

2) Davetoo, this is Outlook 2007 (not other versions). Is this the correct procedure? I clicked Tools, Accounts Settings, DataFiles, double clicked my Mailbox outlook.ost in C:\Documents and Settings\... on the C: drive, clicked Advanced, unchecked the Square Box Used Cached Exchange Mode, clicked Apply, OK, and restarted Outlook.

No, you need to follow what I wrote exactly. You added an extra step.
