text: how do i hook up my work outlook email to work from my computer? we have a web-based email and i work from home.  how do i hook up outlook on my computer to send and receive my work emails? if your work email has email forwarding then you can just go to the options or preference on your work email and set it up so that you can forward a copy of the emails to your home email address. then you just need to setup outlook for your home email address that you want the emails to get forwarded to. i am thinking your web based email has its own server so you cant configure it at home since im sure there is a security firewall involved. but you can do email forwarding.  do you know what email provider you are using for work and if they allow you to use pop and smtp to receive and send email from a different email client?   you can contact me and give me further information if you want me to help you with it.
