To access work email from home, use a web browser for webmail (like Outlook.com/Microsoft 365 portal) with your credentials, or add your account to a dedicated app (Outlook, Apple Mail) on your computer/phone, ensuring you get the right server settings (Exchange/IMAP) and have VPN/MFA access if required by your company’s IT department, who are your first point of contact.
1. Webmail (Browser-Based)
This is the easiest method for any device with internet.
Find the URL: Ask your IT department or look for something like webmail.yourcompany.com, outlook.office.com, or portal.office.com.

MFA: You might need to complete a two-factor authentication step (e.g., code from your phone).
2. Desktop/Mobile Apps (Outlook, Apple Mail, etc.)
For a more integrated experience.
Get Details: Contact IT for the server type (Exchange, Office 365, IMAP) and any specific settings.
Add Account:
Outlook: Go to File > Add Account and enter your details.
Phone (iOS/Android): Go to Settings > Accounts/Mail > Add Account, choose Exchange/Office 365, and follow prompts.
3. Company Portal/VPN
Some companies require specific access.
Employee Portal: Log in to your company’s main employee portal to find links to email and other resources.
VPN: If needed, connect to your company’s Virtual Private Network (VPN) first before accessing email.

Outlook on the web is the web-based version of Outlook used by organizations and it’s what you use to access the email, calendar, and contacts associated with your work or school account via a web browser. Your work or school account is typically assigned to you by someone in your organization.
Note: Outlook.com (or Hotmail.com) is the web-based version of Outlook which uses a personal Microsoft account such as an Outlook.com or Hotmail.com account to sign in. If you’re trying to access your email, calendar, and contacts at Outlook.com (or Hotmail.com), see How to sign in or out of Outlook.com. If you’re not sure which version of Outlook you’re using for your mail, calendar, and contacts, see What version of Outlook do I have?
