Access email out of office

[Xenix275]

Hello,

I would like to access my email when I am at home as well as in office. We have an Exchange server 5.5 and Outlook 2000 on the office PC's. I did not think this was possible with our router there but a couple of guys in the office have Sony palms and have installed some software called "Inbox 2 go" they are now able to read and send email out of the office via there GPRS mobile and there palm. I am thinking there also must be some software that will allow a PC to do the same? e.g my notebook? if anyone can help me please leave me a message.


Kind regards

Mike

We are running 5.5 in our office and I have setup remote collection of emails without much problem.

There are two ways of getting your email SMTP or POP3. POP3 is (in my opinion) the easiest way if you are outside the office.

Make sure that the POP3 protocol is running on your server and then you all you need to do is setup a client to connect to the IP Address of you server.

Your username will Domain\Username\Alias. You can find your alias under Exchange Administrator. We have a firewall protecting our servers so we needed to give access to a certain IP address to allow it to access our mail server on port 110 (POP3 port)

To test if the details are correct just telnet to you server on port 110 and try log in using USER (username) <ENTER> PASS (password)

Let me know if you need some more info on this.

Cheers,
Gavin

We have Exchange Server 5.5 running with Windows NT 4.0 Server. When I need my email sent to the office and home I did the following in Exchange:

Created a new custom recipient with my home email address.
Used email address type of Internet address.

On my mailbox properties, under the delivery options tab,
clicked on Alternate Recipient, modify, and selected the
custom recipient. Also, clicked on Deliver msg to both
recipient and alt. recipient. This will allow you to receive your email at work and at home (in this case).

Hope this helps.
