Checking work email from home (remote login?)
you need to also know the dns of the pop3 and smtp servers. something
resembling mail.domainatwork.com, or pop.domainatwork.com / smtp.domainatwork.com. also, you'll likely need to know how the outgoing server authenticates. is your username the first part of your email address or the entire address, and does your "Outgoing Server Require Authentication"...? if you know these things, Outlook will walk you through this process, or i'd be glad to help. even if these MS MVPs ARE ignoring my requests for help in here... ) wrote: Hello, Long time computer user, first time Outlook user.

[NEWBIE] Checking work email from home (remote login?)
You will need to check with your mail admin at work to see if they have
either VPN access set up or RPC over HTTPS (Outlook 2003/Exchange 2003) - most corporate mail sits behind a firewall and/or front end/back end setup to prevent casual access as the previous poster is advocating. Your mail admin will be able to tell you IF access is allowed and if so, how to accomplish it. -- Milly Staples [MVP - Outlook] Post all replies to the group to keep the discussion intact.

I agree with Milly. You need to check with your employer to find out if they
even allow this and if they do, what method they use. Most companies protect themselves carefully. -- Kathleen Orland Outlook Tips: http://www.outlook-tips.net/ http://www.howto-outlook.com/ " wrote: Hello, Long time computer user, first time Outlook user.
