However i might described the case insufficiently:
What would happen if we would specify a cache limit of 10GB?
As far as i can see the OA doesn't resevere 10gb on the disk.
So lest say a user has a 5gb cache and saves a lot of data on his laptop, meaning he only has 500mb available.
As long as no additional attachment need to be cached by OA there wouldn't be a probem, but if a users ingest a pst file of 2 gb, the cache should store those 2gb of attachments.
The settings in the OA allow a 10 GB cachem however only 500 mb is available.
To my understanding configuration in effect is going to be combination of two things Size limitation and time span. Oldest items are going to be flushed out. If I am not wrong this happens when outlook is closed. I usually find items older than certain time period not in the cache.
Last time I checked the group policy template it allowed %age of the disk space to be used by the offline access cache. Please refer to sourceone offline access installation and administration guide for more details. It has section called "configuring the maximum cache size".
Anything that will be cache miss will be pulled when user will click on it.
What I haven't tested is that what happens when the size is reached. Would the oldest items in cache will be flushed out to make space for new or new will not be cached because cache is full. You might want to test on a machine by setting small size cache and then moving large amount of shortcuts to the mailbox. It can easily be done on a virtual machine by adding small size disk and directing cache to that disk.

Hi Rajan
Thnx for your reply.
This is what i would expect to happen.

Will it remove the oldest from the cache?
Will teh user get error messages?
Do you have any experience on that?
Thnx
Regard
