What is the benefits of using cached exchange mode instead of "old"
offline mode for mobile users. As far as i understood it, you have
access to all of your mail if you are dissconected from the network in
both modes. So why use cached exchange mode? If read a lot about the
latter but i couldnt find any comparsion between these 2 different modes

Cached mode is generally faster when you're connected and reduces network
traffic (especially useful across slower links). Also can require less
effort by the user and less impact on their productivity (not as much time
spent waiting for synchronizations to finish).
