Configuring Offline Settings of Exchange Cache Mode
Exchange Cache Mode allows you to work with your Microsoft Exchange mailbox even if your network connection is slow or unavailable. When this mode is enabled, a copy of the mailbox is stored on your computer. By default, if Exchange Cache Mode is enabled, email from the last 12 months is downloaded. To download all emails, follow these steps:
Open Outlook.
Click on File in the upper left corner.
Under the Information menu item, click Account Settings.
Click Account Settings. The Account Settings window opens.
Click Change.
Set the slider to All.
Click on Next.
Click Finish.
Click Close.

At the File type to create item, select Outlook data file (.pst) and then click Next.
Select the folders you want to export, and then click Next. If you would like to export all folders of the account, select the top-level entry above Inbox, which is typically the email address itself.
