Hi.

I'm using Outlook 2003 final with Exchange 2000 + service packs. I
have Outlook 2003 on my workstation and my laptop. The laptop connects
using VPN, as well as directly, when at work. Both use cached exchange
mode.

I have been on holiday for a week and have only connected using the
laptop over VPN.

Having come back today and fired up Outlook on the workstation it
picks up all my emails from the last week, but the unread emails I had
before I left from 3rd October are still unread.

So workstation shows 16 unread in my inbox, plus 3 in one of my
folders (all older than a week), where as the laptop correctly shows 0
unread messages.

Is this a bug?

Intention laziness (only checking back the last week for updates).

A problem with Exchange 2000?
 
The laptop didn't push the read status information back to the server,
possibly do to using VPN.

Cached mode seems to have a problem updating the server with read/unread
information (and dismissed reminders). It's the buggiest for me when I'm
working offline and using dialup with RPC/HTTP.
