I want to access my Outlook from the computer at my office just as I do my
SBC Yahoo mail.

What do you mean by "my Outlook". With SBC Yahoo!, you have a POP account.
If you access that mailbox from home, your Outlook there downloads the
messages from the Yahoo! server to your local PC and then deletes them from
the server, unless you've instructed it not to do that. Thus, if you access
the Yahoo! server from work, there won't be anything there.
Another factor is whether or not your network administrators at the office
even allow connections to outside mail servers. There;s no way for them to
control the crud that may reside on those servers, so many companies outlaw
access to outside mail servers. For example, I can access neither Yahoo!'s
nor Hotmail's servers from work. I can't even access Web2Mail.. Our
firewall blocks that access.
A third factor is whether or not your home PC allows inbound Internet
connections, if your Outlook mail resides on that computer (and I'd bet my
next paycheck that it does, since SBC Yahoo! is a POP mailbox). If you do,
then you can use a tool like VNC, GotoMyPC, or Remote Desktop Connection to
see your home PC, but again, your work may not allow those protocols on an
outbound connection.

You nailed it. Everything you said is accurate and I think the answer is the
tool to access my computer from anywhere. I will look into the suggestions
you gave.

I can access my computer remotely using gotomypc. However if I send or
forward a message it gets stuck in outbox. How do I send the messages to
avoid this?
