Over the past 6 weeks or so, we have seen a significant increase in problems with the KOFF cache. The symptom is that OutLook will not start (usually complaining about not finding the default folders). Going into Control Panel / Mail and clearing the KOFF cache takes care of the problem.
We are using KC 8.5.3, hosted on Debian. The end users are MSOffice 2010.
This used to be a 'once in a while' type of problem, but now we are seeing it several times a week. I can't find any commonality among the problem computers, and once the cache is rebuilt, the problem doesn't appear to come back. It also doesn't seem to be related to size of the user's mail store, although all could be considered large-ish (> 700MB)
I'm just wondering if anyone else has seen this, and if they discovered a cause/fix.

If the error, can't open default folders is in fact a cache corruption issue, it is getting worse. In a 70 user installation I was seeing that once every 3-4 months and now I'm seeing it at least once a month. My solution was to wipe the profile and recreate it and that does work.

However, as database corruption is mostly caused by an hardware failure, it would be strange that is started in the same time on more PCs.
This is what prompted my post. Such corruptions used to be rare, now they are not. there is no other evidence that this is a hardware failure. So, I'm looking for some other factor -- an update from Microsoft, certain combinations of message length or store size, etc.
Quote:You can probably find more info about the issue in KOFF debug.log on client machines ('%localappdata%\Kerio\Outlook Connector\debug.log'). If you are not able to get any useful info from the log file, I recommend you to contact Kerio Tech Support for assistance.
The problem with looking at the debug log for help is that it is incredibly chatty (although I suppose that is the nature of a debug log), and full of red herrings. I had absolutely no trouble with my Outlook yesterday, yet here are the last four entries in my (92 Megabyte!) debug file. Whitespace reduced to improve readability.:

They look like errors to the casual observer, but are they real?

And the fact that I only get two such contacts a year motivates me to make sure it's not something I can cure myself before I do so.

I understand and I take it always into account when I give such recommendations. Although it is never 100%, I recommend contacting Kerio Tech Support just in the cases when there is a big chance it is a Kerio bug. Support incidents caused by Kerio bugs are not paid.
