Clearing Outlook 2010's mail cache

We share a mail account in outlook and when a new folder is created it has issues showing it because it is not in the cache. Does anyone know a way to clear the 2010 cache or force it to reload so these new folders show up?

I do not wish do disable cached mode as our mail is received from a remote location, I would just like to clear it once.

Also, I don't want to recreate my account as I have a lot of settings that are outlook only that will be lost(Favorites etc)

Solution 1:

Never Mind, I figured it out.

If you go to Control Panel → Mail → Show Profiles

Then open the profile you want then click on the EMail Accounts and Finally switch to the Data Files Tab you can see the path of the Cache File.

I simply rename this to (old) at the end restarted outlook to find it was preparing for "First Time Use" but when it came back up all my settings were preserved.

I had to terminate some processes called searchprovider or similar to rename this file however.
