Collecting emails at work
I now have a job which involves long shifts and unsociable hours but at least I am able to get on-line to pick up my emails and log in here so I
don't go completely mad during the wee hours. However I would like to be able to just monitor my emails at work and leave a copy on my main
(home) 'puter so that I can keep tabs on the history and action things accordingly when I get home.
I seem to remember that this is possible by changing a setting in Outlook but I'm damned if I can figure it out.
Any ideas guys?
Cheers,
Raz

I use Thunderbird these days...but IIRC its >Accounts>Options, then eerrrm one of the tabs there is a box to tick to 'Leave Message on
Server.....after downloading to Outlook.......
I am sure someone will be along soon with the exact tab.....

Edit to add........when you get home you can then download your messages again from your server

POP Peeper Really simple little mail prog, it's a self contained thing so you can run it off a USB stick
on any computer with t'internet. It leaves everythig on the server so you can check your mail on the move and then download it all as normal
when you get back home/to the desk. I used to use it at work before we all got issued Blackberries, it's a great little app
