Smitten
So last week I met someone and I have been feeling strange ever since. It has taken me until now to realize. We have so much in common, we love the same type of music, movies, etc. He pretty much has the same taste in everything as I do. This is the first time that anything so perfect has come along, and it tears me to know that he definitely does not feel the same way in all likelihood. Either way though, i would still like to get to know him as a friend, and only a friend, since I have found that my current group of friends is kind of stagnating. Change is good, and I at least hope he is willing to at least try.

2 commentsCached Mode vs Non-Cached Mode In MS Exchange 2003
Non-Cached Mode
Pros
- Instant access to updates in the exchange system
- Outlook starts faster
- Less intense on the server
Cons
- Like IMAP, emails not accessible when the server is down.
Cached Mode
Pros
- Accesible when the server is down
Cons
- Outlook takes longer to start as it syncs all the folders
- Delay in propagation of changes to system
- More server intensive
I would stick to non-cached for all desktops, as it behaves much like the current IMAP system with regards to server load and network traffic. For Laptops i would switch to Cached mode, as it enables access to emails while disconnected from the network.
