Outlook Web Access Guide

Web-based email accounts such as Hotmail, Yahoo and Google are popularly used as personal email accounts because they are quick and easy to setup, and they can be accessed through any computer that has an internet connection and browser.

Some firms will have an email exchange in place which means the only way an individual can access their personal emails is through the internet. Some companies have a ‘reasonable use’ policy when it comes to the internet, others will have strict bans against particular websites or, staff may only be allowed a certain amount of time surfing the net per day through allocated time slots.

Microsoft Office Outlook Connector

The Microsoft Office Outlook Connector 12.1 is an example of how one can view their personal emails at work without having to open a browser. The Outlook Connector is a simple executable file that is specifically used with Microsoft Outlook and is downloaded into the actual application. It appears in Outlook as an additional email account underneath the main work account. It also uses the firm’s email exchange to import the details of the personal account (such as Hotmail), thus eliminating the need to go online.
