This is what the Outlook help file mentions:
Unlike with Remote Mail, with offline folders you're not restricted to
working with only the Inbox. Offline folders make it possible to take a
folder from a server location, work with the contents of the folder when
you are not connected to the network, and then update the folder and its
corresponding server folder to make the contents of both identical. This
process is called synchronizing folders.
You can add, delete, and modify the contents of an offline folder
exactly as you can with a folder on a server. For example, you can
change and move items in your offline Inbox, send messages that are
placed in your offline Outbox, and read your offline public folders.
Meanwhile, you will receive new messages in your Inbox on the server,
and other users might add, delete, and change items in public folders.
But you will not be aware of these changes on the server until you
synchronize.
Offline folders are stored in the Offline Folder (.ost) file. This file
is located on your computer hard disk and is available even when the
network is down. The .ost file can be compacted to save space on your
computer.
I myself have never worked with an offline folder in this way but it
might be worth just doing what the F1 says - sometimes it does work! ;-)
