If you have an Exchange Server mailbox configured in Outlook, Outlook will connect to it and download your mailbox (which typically includes all Outlook data). This is a great feature if you work in an office where you use a different computer every day, because your data will always display as soon as you connect to the server. When you make changes to your Outlook data (like receiving new e-mail or creating new tasks), all of that information is stored back on the server so you can retrieve it the next time you use Outlook. This normally means, however, that you won’t be able to access your e-mail account outside of Outlook at work (for example, from home) unless special provisions are made. It also means if you leave the workplace, your e-mail stays with the company.
