Dan,
If your work's ISP allows so, you can just define that account (user name, password, pop3-server and the like) in your OE and then you can download all the mail. It's all in your copy of OE at work.
If you set the account at home to not delete the mail on the server, it should stay there for retrieval from your work, I suppose. But you can always export important mail at home, and import it at work again. If you know what you're doing you can even copy a folder from here to there with all mails in it.
Just as you can export the address book, you should be able to import it.
Hope this helps.

Dear friends,
I looked through the old posts because I'm sure I'm not the first person who has attempted this, but I didn't find anything exactly like my situation. If another member has asked an identical question, please direct me to that post.
I'm going to be out of the office for a couple weeks and want to check my e-mail from home. I only want to check NEW e-mails so I don't want to import the whole account including folders, old e-mails, etc. So we're not talking about a backup/restore situation. If new e-mails are not on my work computer when I return, that's OK. It would be nice, although not necessary, to have my address book. I have saved my address book as a .csv file, so I know how to do that.
Both computers use OE6 although at work I have Windows XP and at home I use ME. The other difference is that at work we have a broadband Internet connection and at home I use dial-up with Juno.
I am the only one who uses my computer at work and there are no identities or profiles. To check e-mail I simply open OE and it downloads, I don't need to type in a user ID or password. Also, my OE account resides on my computer, not a server.
I could probably have a co-worker forward my work e-mail to my Juno account, but it seems like there ought to be a way to use OE from home.
Any suggestions will be greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
Dan
