If you can show (some) details (don't put the actual company domain name) from your settings in Outlook, it might be possible to answer more reliably.<br><b>References : </b><br> Over 15 years using the internet, 10+ years with own domains, and assisting clients with their mail servers and internet access :) It will depend on whether the mail is stored in your office building, or on an internet service

- if it is a mail server somewhere outside your office building, then it should be OK to access it wherever you are

eg host name mail.companyname.co.uk

(sometimes that will still be on a server within your company network, but if so, then it may still be available when you are not in your office)

- if it is on your office LAN (local network) then it depends on the settings used within Outlook.

eg host name 192.168.1.200
that address is only accessed when you are in your office building, so you would need to check with IT staff from your company as to whether mail can be collected (and sent) from a PC outside the company network.

If you can show (some) details (don’t put the actual company domain name) from your settings in Outlook, it might be possible to answer more reliably.

Oh, Lord. You might as well connect it direct to Hell because that's where you'll wind up if you continue with it. It is THE most hackable and virus-prone piece of garbage EVER. <br><b>References : </b><br> You use THAT for BUSINESS?? Oh, Lord.
