Items from an Exchange account are stored in the Outlook cache. If this cache becomes corrupted, it may cause synchronization problems with the Exchange server. To solve this problem, you can empty this cache so Outlook can download all the items from your Exchange account again.
I would like to backup all Folders/Mails that are stored locally under »On my Mac« in Mac Outlook 2016. I don’t want to backup the complete Outlook Profile over and over again. In Word 2016, the AutoRecovery folder is buried deep in the system and requires your Mac to display hidden files, so the first step is to reveal these secret folders, to do so we recommend.
Caution: The following procedure deletes any information that is not synchronized with the Exchange server, including your contacts' mail certificate. Emptying the cache replaces the contents of the folder with the latest items from the Exchange server. Before emptying the cache, you may want to back up your Outlook information.
- Make sure your computer is connected to the Exchange server.
- In the navigation pane, Ctrl+click or right-click the Exchange folder for which you want to empty the cache, and then click Properties.
- On the General tab, click Empty Cache. After the folder is empty, Outlook automatically downloads the items from the Exchange server.

Every email attachment in Microsoft Outlook when sent or downloaded leaves temporary files in your Windows PC. All these temp files get stuck in the temporary files folder of your PC. It is very important to delete these temp files not just to clear up disk space and improve the performance but also to avoid any kind of data theft risk.
The temp files used in viewing or adding an email attachment are all stored in the sub-directory of temporary internet files in your PC and if anyone has access to that folder, can see your sensitive information.
