I was wondering if I can have my email in outlook automatically forwarded to
my my private personal account at home.

I hate coming to work after my days off and seeing 50 unread emails in my
box.

Thanks

What kind of mail system do you use at work? If you use Exchange server, you
can use Outlook Web Access if your admins have installed it/opened it up
from the Internet, or they can set alternate delivery on your mailbox to
forward a copy of all messages to your home account. The former is preferred
as it doesn't leave you with two copies of messages & sent items that aren't
sync'd up.

If you don't use Exchange at work, you can set up a rule to autoforward all
inbound mail to your home account, but you'll have to leave Outlook
running/connected to the internet while you're away.
 
No problem.
First, I take it your on an Exchange Server at work, and hope it's at Least
Oultook 2000 on your desktop at work.
This way we can assume your mail will be forwarded even if you turn the
office box off.
Rules are your game, maybe one on work and home computer(s) respectively.
Office computer click Tools/Rules Wizard/ and start from new rule: straight
foward Rule to the effect of:
Apply this rule when the message arrives /next
check the box: Were my name is in the TO or CC box /next
check the box: Foward it to People or Distribution list
then click in the lower box for the underlined portion, and choose your
personal e-mail address from yourself as a contact.

This is a basic rule, you could also go further and tell the rule to move
the message that was fowarded, to a specific folder so you can get an item
count to verify all copies... heaven forbid a message is fowareded to you
while you're intransit to work. This is my suggestion you do NOT have the
message perm delete the message.
Your home computer can have a rule to move the message to a WORK folder you
create.
Also, by unchecking the box for the rule activation, it won't work while
your @work, just recheck it b4 you go home for the weekend.

....won't work if autoforward to the Internet is disabled, however, as it is
by default in E2k/2k3. I prefer the 'alternate delivery' route -
