Difference between cached Exchange and 'online with Exchange'

Hi All

I was hoping someone could explain the difference between cached and online with Exchange. We are using Exchange 2003 with Outlook 2007/2003 clients.

I thought that with online - Outlook has a constant MAPI (just one?) connection to Exchange. Whenever there is a new message in the user's mailbox, Exchange PUSHES this to Outlook.

With cached, Outlook PULLS messages at regular intervals (can these be defined)?

Hope someone can help.

Hi

So were my comments regarding PUSH and PULL valid in your opinion?

Sorry, I didn't see JBlond's comment before I posted.

On another note, PULL method is used for POP3 and IMAP and such.
