HI 

You can close OL and delete the cache file with no problems.
The connector will recreate it when it starts.
OL should be much faster afterwards as well.

Subject: MAPI cache dat file size

So one of my managers (running latest MAPI with Outlook 2013 on 64 bit 
Windows 7) had a 6GB dat file in his profile. It corrupted. I restored 
the dat file prior to the corruption and it is working fine again. 
However, the dilemma is the cache file shouldn't be this big, 
theoretically. He had a large number of emails, which he has since 
archived off to multiple PST files. His account is reporting only about 
100MB in size now.

If this was a PST file, I would run Outlook's compression on it. This 
does not seem to be possible. So how do we compress the cache file? I 
know I can delete the profile but I really don't want to go through 
that. Any ideas? If I simply delete the cache dat file, will it be 
recreated once Outlook is started, as opposed to deleting the whole 
profile and having to reconfigure the profile again?

TIA.
