The Options tab refers to settings by their Outlook client names. However, each setting controls the appearance of the Outlook client, Entourage client, and the Basic and Premium OWA clients, except where noted.
The Feature settings control whether menu options and toolbar buttons are available on the Outlook, Entourage, and OWA clients.
The check box controls whether a feature is displayed as a menu option:
In the Outlook client, the menu options are provided on the > menu.
In Mac OS X, the menu options are provided on the menu on the menu bar.
In OWA clients, the menu options are provided on the shortcut menu that appears when you right-click an item, except for Search Vaults and Archive Explorer, where a button is provided on the navigation pane.
If you select the check box, the check box becomes available. The check box controls whether a toolbar button is displayed. Note that some features are not available in certain clients. For example, the Search Vault and Archive Explorer features are not available in OWA clients.

Note that for the two settings, Search Vault and Archive Explorer, you can configure the OWA clients to use different values than the Outlook client, if required. To set different values for OWA, go to the Advanced tab, select the category and change the values of the Search Vaults and Archive Explorer settings to the required values. If you subsequently change the Search Vault or Archive Explorer settings on the Options tab, you are asked if you want to apply these revised settings to the OWA clients as well as to Outlook. If you click , the values for the OWA clients on the Advanced tab are retained.
The Cancel Operation setting is not currently supported in Microsoft Entourage for archive actions.
The Outlook Behavior settings on the Options tab control the shortcut deletion behavior of the Outlook and OWA clients. (The settings have no effect in Microsoft Entourage.) Table: Exchange desktop policy Options tab Outlook Behavior settings describes the Outlook Behavior settings.
