We use Outlook 2000 with Exchange - and we normally sync via network or internet/dialup VPN. Occasionally I want to use remote mail to check the contents of my inbox and choose what I want to download.

But everytime I do this, it tries to sync my whole mailbox folders before downloading headers. I understand that it may want to synch my inbox so it doesn't give me headers that I have previously read, but why the whole mailbox? Does anyone know how to stop this from happening?

The remote mail feature and .ost files can't be used together. The remote mail feature is for use with a .pst file. If you wanted to sync just your inbox you would have to change your offline folder settings so that it just synchronizes with the inbox and then change it back when you want to sync all folders.

Well, it didn't really help, but I accept part of the logic. I guess it is naive to ask why then the remote connect functionality does work with ost files, albeit with the extra sync!
