Outlook 2003
 

I use my pesonal laptop at my office and consequently my Outlook is connected
to the company's server.

While I am told by the company owner that I can set up personal folders,
etc. in the same Outlook program and that no one in the office will have
access nor will the server copy my address books or email, I am not
comfortable with the potential risk. To be absolutely certain my personal
security is not compromised, I would like to have a separate copy of my
Outlook installed to use for personal information and business. Currently my
existing Outlook is setup to receive email to my office address only and has
only my company-related address book.

Can I have two copies of Outlook 2003 installed on my computer, or will
updates, etc. get confused? I would have the second copy set-up with my
personal address book and personal address only.

Thanks for your help.

You can have two copies of Outlook installed, but you can have two mail
profiles, one for your work mail and one for your personal mail, each
profile referencing a different data sto the work profile accessing the
server (Exchange?) and the personal profile referencing the personal
account.

However, this is really no more secure than what you were told about having
a PST defined for your personal stuff. If you really want security, then
don't read your personal mail at work.

That should say "can't". My fingers slipped.

Brian,

Thanks for your response.

I agree that the greatest security is to not read my personal email at work.
The only problem is that when I have my personal email address installed in
the same Outlook program as my work email, and I am signed in on the office
network, when I open Outlook to get my office email, my personal
automatically loads also. Hence, I am concerned my personal business is then
loaded onto the server, along with my personal address book. Possibly the
problem is a setting of which I am not aware.

Any insight?

You can certainly change that by adjusting the Send/Receive group settings.
Consider as well, using rules to move the incoming personal messages to a
separate PST.
