ost file has reached limit

[mquinn0908]

I have a user that wants to have portions of his mailbox available to him when he is away from the office with his laptop. I have setup the offline file on his local hard drive and went into the define send/receive groups to indicate which folders I want to sync which is just the calendar, contacts and memos but when the syncing happens it is including the inbox which is quite large. I don't have the inbox selected so I am not sure why it is happening. Also, this user has a POP3 account that he checks with Outlook and the mail is delievered to his Exchange mailbox so when I go into define send/receive groups and look at the POP3 account it does have the inbox selected and I can't unselect it. Is there any way to setup the offline file to just get the calendar, contacts and memos without getting the inbox? Thank you.
