Re: MAPI cache dat file size

Thanks for the info. No shared folders with this user, purely lazy and 
keeping all of his emails within the MAPI.

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?
