Working with Outlook on 2 Computers Help

So, just to be clear, you have an Exchange Server at work, yes? That's where your mailbox is?

Is it possible this new tech changed Outlook so that it uses POP3 or IMAP to retrieve your e-mail rather than the native Exchange service?

Good point, he did change it to a POP3 server. I did however notice after going through a few options that in the advanced section under email tools, I checked a box to keep email on server for 10 days. Will this help?

Also, will I be able to use the POP3 on my home computer to access my work emails?

Thank you,

If you have an Exchange server then you should be accessing it using the Exchange service. It's hard to imagine a scenario where having Outlook use POP3 to access an Exchange server would be a good idea.

Why did he change it when it was working before?
