How can retrieve e-mail from the office to your home computer?
.
Is there something in the water today? Three other similar
questions were all asked within a 10 minute time-span.

First, this newsgroup is about Access, the database
product included with Office Pro. E-mail questions would
be better directed to a newsgroup devoted to whatever
program you are using for E-mail.

With that said, there are several possibilities:
1) if your office is using an external mail server to
handle emails, all you need to do is open your mail
program at the office, click tools / options / Accounts /
properties and write down everything on all the tabs in
there. Then go to your home computer, open your email
program, take the same steps and set up an account with
the information that you wrote down from the office. (the
above works with Outlook and Outlook Express, your email
program may be slightly different but the same settings
should be in there somewhere)

2) if your office uses an internal mail server then you
will need your IT guys to set up your home email account
to download the emails to your home comp. They will need
to set up some kind of connection from your home to your
office (vpn, p2p, whatever) so that you can retrieve
emails.

In either case, if a copy of the email is not left on the
server when you download it to whichever pc you are on,
you will not be able to get it on the other pc.
