AI Overview
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.
Login: Enter your work email address and password.
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.
Before You Start: Key Actions
Contact IT: Always check with your company’s IT department first for policies, URLs, and setup steps.
Credentials: Have your work email, username, and password ready.

Using work email to use in personal devices. Any risks or things I need to know?
I stopped using Microsoft office after graduating from university which gave me access to office365.
Been using just google docs for 3 years now until I started working on a company which I can use my work email to use office365.
Apart from losing office365 subscription if I stop working with this company, are there any risk and disadvantages I should know when using with my personal devices?
-
Can they access my files? (Not gonna use cloud storage to save personal office files)
-
Can they see the history of files I open?
-
Other stuff I should know?
Don’t particularly care about cloud features that allow me to access files seamlessly across multiple devices.
