From: anon_278 on 7 Mar 2010 12:19 Is there any way of remotely accessing my home email using Outlook 2007 on my laptop? My ISP has a webmail site for remote access, but the site is far less user friendly than Outlook and I have to log in multiple times to accommodate more than one email address. I have Outlook 2007 in my laptop and tried using the same account settings as my home desktop, but it wouldn't access anything.

Easiest would be to use an e-mail provider that allows IMAP access to your mailbox. You didn't identify your e-mail provider. Do they have IMAP?

The settings should work to check new mail but you may not be able to send messages using the same settings. -- Diane Poremsky [MVP - Outlook] Outlook Tips: http://www.outlook-tips.net/ Outlook & Exchange Solutions Center: http://www.slipstick.com/ Outlook Tips by email: mailto:dailytips-subscribe-request(a)lists.outlooktips.net EMO - a weekly newsletter about Outlook and Exchange: mailto:EMO-NEWSLETTER-SUBSCRIBE-REQUEST(a)PEACH.EASE.LSOFT.COM How many email accounts are in your main Outlook profile? http://forums.slipstick.com/showthread.php?t=36602 <anon_278(a)hotmail.com> wrote in message news:mnn7p51kh9272ag669pk609q43u87cqk74(a)4ax.com... > Is there any way of remotely accessing my home email using Outlook > 2007 on my laptop? > > My ISP has a webmail site for remote access, but the site is far less > user friendly than Outlook and I have to log in multiple times to > accommodate more than one email address. > > I have Outlook 2007 in my laptop and tried using the same account > settings as my home desktop, but it wouldn't access anything. > > > >

Can you describe what "wouldn't access anything" means? What did you try? If you have a POP account on your home PC and it removes messages from the server, then if you want to see the stuff on that PC, you'll need a remote access solution like Remote Desktop Connection, VNC, or some other remote access tool and you'll need to configure your home network to allow access to your PC through your home firewall. Alternatively, you can sign up for a service like GoToMyPC.com, offered by Citrix. They have ads on many radio stations, the TWiT podcasts, and web sites like Kim Komando's that will give you a promo code so you can try it free for some period of time like 30 or 45 days. -- Brian Tillman [MVP-Outlook]
From: anon_278 on 8 Mar 2010 23:36 I received no error messages. Literally, nothing happened - no mail was received, nothing was sent. I have since learned from my ISP that if I change the incoming mail server to POP3, I can receive mail, but cannot send any. To send mail, They say I would need to use the outbound mail server for the remote network that I would be using to access the internet - such as at a hotel. Most hotel staff wouldn't have a clue what I was talking about; they usually don't know a thing about the connection. Make sense or is there a better way?
