Work Outlook mail to my Mac

I work on Windows at work (ARGHH!) and have an Outlook account. I want my Outlook mail to go to my Mac at home b/c I work from home quite a bit and aparently I cannot connect my Mac to our work server remotely.

How do I do this? Should I set it up to go into Entourage on my Mac? I am skeptical of having the mail come into my Mac Mail b/c there is a lot of Spam coming to my Work Outlook.

How do I do this?

Suggestions?

Thanks.

MacBook, Mac OS X (10.5.5)

Hi,

since Entourage is not an Apple product, take a look here: http://www.microsoft.com/mac/products/entourage2008/default.mspx#/interacting_en tourage/

Entourage is only avaiable as a part of 'Office for Mac 2008'.

Btw.: ask the Administrator of your work company for access to your work PC from your home Mac using VPN/VNC.
I connect to my work PC from my Mac at home without problems.

Regards

Stefan

Thanks for the help.

I think I will have to get the guys who admin our work server to mess with it. Our Outlook is on a Microsoft Exchange Server. I was messing with auto-forwarding my Outlook emails to my gmail account and that wouldn't even work.

Hi,

our work server is also an Exchange Server and the network guys use VPN/VNC for remote maintenance of the servers.

On my MAcI sue the built-in VPN client and JollysFastVNC for accessing/useing my work PC and Outlook among other programs on it.

Good Luck

Stefan
