Even though you may have specified automatically synchronization for your offline folders while you are online, this will not occur if Microsoft Outlook determines that you have a slow connection. This is for performance reasons. To manually synchronize all of your folders, on the Tools menu, point to Send/Receive, and then click All Accounts. To synchronize one folder, select the folder, click the Tools menu, point to Send/Receive, and then click This Folder.
My browser doesn't show my Web pages offline.
When you update Web pages that you have made available offline, they're saved in a format that can be read only by Microsoft Internet Explorer. Therefore, other browsers can't display Web pages unless you're connected to the Internet or to a server.
I use Microsoft Outlook with a slow connection.
Microsoft Outlook supports two ways to access the messages and other data on your Microsoft Exchange server. You can connect online to your Exchange server, or you can run Outlook offline. If you use the second method, you periodically synchronize with the Exchange server to send and receive messages and to synchronize other offline folders.
Microsoft recommends that when you are using a slow connection you use Outlook offline and synchronize periodically. The connection time is generally short if you synchronize often, and your data is available when it's not convenient to connect to the server (such as when traveling). The disadvantages of working offline are that a duplicate copy of the data is stored on your computer's hard drive for very fast access, but to remain useful, it should be synchronized frequently.
It is possible to connect directly to the Exchange server over a slow connection. With this method no synchronization is required. Any message you open will be downloaded to your computer. This is a way to download new mail selectively without having to download all new messages. Another advantage is that you can send mail immediately after composing it. The disadvantage of this method is that large messages you receive will take a long time to download over a slow connection, and this will make Outlook unavailable until the message is downloaded.
