Outlook doesn't stay online-only
I have Office 2019 pro plus, my Outlook is version 2002 (insider) I didn't want Outlook to download my emails and use local disk space so I went here: and unchecked the ...
I think I found the bug,
so apparently Only setting the slider to 1 month and older works and it won't revert back to "All" after Outlook restart.
which means anything less than 1 month (i.e 2 weeks, 1 week, 3 days etc) fails,
resulting in the slider to revert back to the default "All" value.
(if this is another limitation of free MSA, there is no warning or notice shown to the user)
This is from Outlook 2019 - Insider - Version 2002 - (Build 12513.20010 Click-to-Run)
I hope Outlook developers see this post and fix the bug, again it'd help if someone else could reproduce this bug using Free MSA on Outlook 2019 or Outlook 365.
Others improvements that need to be done:
- Either grey out Or show a notice or warning to users that are logged into Outlook program with a free MSA (Outlook.com, Hotmail.com etc) when trying to disable cached mode option, saying that it's not possible to disable cached mode when using a free MSA.

Yeah, 1 month minimum sounds about right. Thanks for the testing and confirming it.
I'll ask internally whether this can be properly published and be made clearer in the interface.
- Sounds great, thank you very much!
