Default GAL Cache?

I answered my own question. "mobilePhone" does, in fact, appear on the GAL Contact Item screen.

The problem is that I had 6 records with the "mobile" attribute. I originally created this mapping:

mcf +zimbraGalLdapAttrMap mobile=carPhone,mobilePhone

I then modified it as follows:

mcf -zimbraGalLdapAttrMap mobile=carPhone,mobilePhone
mcf +zimbraGalLdapAttrMap mobile=mobilePhone

Now, new LDAP records I enter display the mobilePhone field on the GAL contact screen, but earlier LDAP records entered do NOT display the mobilePhone field, even though they have "mobile" attribute values.

My question is: Is there some cache that Zimbra maintains with respect to LDAP entries? I have noticed that when I alter attributes on an existing record (and the attributes are mapped to Zimbra contact fields), they do not show up on Zimbra GAL screen. However, when I enter new records with all the mapped attributes, these attributes are reflected in the mapped Zimbra contact fields.

Can someone please explain why this is, and what I should do about it?

Thanks!
