Inbox Size

[Ian]

When checking Inbox size, it has 200MB on server and 300MB on local. So I
disabled the Cache mode, delete ost file, re-enable Cache mode and start
Outlook to update Inbox. After All folders updated, it is the same thing:
Local data is still larger than Server data. Anyone has a suggestion? Thanks.

It's usual for the server size and the local size to differ. Each is stored
in a different set of data structures. While the difference you describe
seems excessive at first glance, my opinion is that it shouldn't be a
concern.
