A. In the Server text box, type outlook.
B. Select the the Use Cached Exchange Mode check box.
C. In the User Name text box, enter your entire email address.

Note: Outlook 2013 offers the option to limit the amount of data that is downloaded to your local
machine. This can be adjusted, using the "Mail to keep offline slider." You can select caching
for 1 month, 3 months, 6 months, 1 year, 2 years, and “all.” By default, Outlook 2013 only
synchronizes twelve (12) months of email to your Offline Outlook Data (.ost) file from the
Exchange server. In this example, if you have email items older than 12 months in your
Exchange mailbox, they reside only in your mailbox on the server.
