I have a machine on a domain running Win XP and Office 2k3. I can't bring in a users mail beyond a certain date. The mail will come in if I remove the Use Cached Exchange Mode. I have 5Gb of free HD space and 512 of ram. I also have ajusted the virtual memory every way I know how

You can have as large as a 20 GB PST with cached mode.

How large is the hard disk that has 5 GB free? Is this less than 10% of the total drive volume? Is this 5GB free counting the swap file?

Do you have the ost file already created? If not, then specify where the ost file should be. If you already have one, why not try to simply rename it and then restart Outlook. Then see if the cached mode works.

Does the user security rights to where the OST file is?

It sounds like Outlook simply isn't recognizing that it's online, so it isn't pulling the newer messages down and you're seeing an old copy of the messages from the OST. What happens if you press F9 to manually synchronize the folders?

I don't have a copy of Outlook 2k3 handy, so I can't offer an exact location, but can you check the properties of the "Microsoft Exchange Server" service. Is it set to "Automatically detect connection state"?
