Hi,
I need to check my e-mail remotely and as of now I can only check it
through outlook. I have been told to forward/copy all mail to charter, but
have no idea how to do that. Can someone help me, please.

thank you

a) What version of Outlook?
b) What type of mail server are you forwarding from?

The version is Outlook 2000 and the server is Charter.net. the tech at
charter said it would be as simple as setting up outlook to copy all mail to
the charter account but he referred me to ms to set that up. As to my other
question about junk mail that you replied to, the notification went into the
inbox, so i think it was just the sender that went to junk mail. thank you
for responding so quickly.

Ok, I'm mildly confused. You want to forward the mail *to* your Charter.net
account or *from* your charter.net account?

I respond to a lot of posts, you may want to just reply to that thread so
I have a clue what you're talking about.

http://www.slipstick.com/mail1/leaveonserver.htm will tell you how to leave
new mail on the server. As for mail that you've already received, you'd
need to forward it to yourself, or configure Outlook to use IMAP and move
the mail from your PST over the IMAP account, which, afaik, should 'upload'
the messages back up. Maybe. I'd probably go the IMAP route, unless you
don't care about the older mail, in which case, just set it to leave the
mail on the server and use the Web based access when you're not at home.
