Signing in to Outlook away from the Office

[Jennifer K]

I use Microsoft Outlook at the office. Simply click on the Icon on my desktop
when I get into work. I want to add some contacts to my work e-mail using my
home desktop, but don't know how to get into that account. When I click on my
home desktop Icon I get my personal account. Can't figure out how to sign out
and sign back into my work account

Thanks!

You'll have to ask the IT people where you work whether or not you're
allowed to access your work email from home and, if so, how to do it.

Your best option is really to talk to your help desk at work to ask them
for how you can access your work based email from home.

hey Brian,

We don't have any IT people. No server or anything. Just a regular Outlook
account we set up ourselves. I do know with Yahoo you can access it from
anywhere. Can't I do that with Outlook?

Except SOMEONE is in charge of managing your company's mail server.
And, YES, there *is* a server. If there wasn't, there would be nowhere
for you to connect to get your mails from there. Your "company" must
have a mail server somewhere. If they don't provide their own, they are
getting e-mail services from someone and there would be a server there.

Also, Outlook is NOT an account. Outlook is an e-mail CLIENT. You will
need to find out what *type* of e-mail account you have and whether that
mail server on the company's network (or wherever they contract e-mail
services) can be accessed by you from your non-work network.

Without specifics, responses will be just as vague.
