Þ        When you are running in cached mode, your Exchange mailbox is synchronized to a local file (an .ost file), and the offline address list from your Exchange computer is synchronized to a collection of files (.oab files) on your client computer. Þ      Therefore, network communication between Outlook and Exchange is significantly reduced.   Why   offline address book is important?

Þ      With an offline address book, Outlook does not have to connect to the global catalog to resolve names.
