Outlook set up - help required

[scooters]

All, I'm after a bit of help.

I've been asked to set up, as a favour, a laptop for someone so that they can access their emails etc when they are away from Home.

The current set up is on a Desktop, and the person would like to keep this as the main PC but have the ability to access their email account on the move.

Assuming that they access emial via Outlook, is it possible to do this and if so how.

Hope this is enough info but let me know if any other details are required.

Any help would be appreciated

If they just need access to emails and not calendar then here's what I'd do:

Set Outlook to use IMAP rather than POP3, this changes your email to 'server-based'.

Use webmail provided by his email service provider.

Doing the above will mean he always has access to his mailbox, and any emails sent from Webmail will appear in his Sent Items in Outlook, and vice versa. It's how I roll these days
