Outlook 2013/2016: Types of connections to Microsoft Exchange

In this post, I would like to make out the types of Microsoft Outlook 2013/2016 connections to the Microsoft Exchange Server 2016, depending on the type of mailbox (personal, archive, shared or Public Folders).
There are 2 main types of connections: cached and online. The online mode is simple, but the cache mode is more complex. To learrn more what is Cached Mode go to TechNet.
