reading work email ant home

Bryan Parker

I purchased Microsoft Office Enterprise 2007 to use on my home computer. I
have an outlook email address through my work (Veteran's Administration), but
I can not figure out how to view the emails from work on my home computer.
MS Office will only let me use my other email accounts (yahoo and such). I
would appreciate any help with this.

Do you use exchange server at work? did you ask your email admin for the
proper server names to use when you set up the acct at home?

Ask the mail server admin on how to access your account from outside
their network. Do you know they actually allow this? If so, they may
require you use OWA (Outlook Web Acess) via a web browser because they
don't allow direct access to their mail server. Or they require you use
VPN for a secure connection to their network. Or something else. They
should know how to externally access their mail service.
