How can I check my work emails from home?

My wife and kids snoop through my emails at home. I only have 1 email that I primarily use for work. If I log?

  • off at home, can I keep open on work computer? Or if it's open at work will it be open at home for all to view??

  • Answer:

    No, I wouldn't think that it would be open at home it you logged in at work. You'd have to actually open it on the home computer, I would think! I'm not an expert but that's just my opinion!

Of course you can log off at home and still view remotely at work. I do it all the time. As for stopping the snooping (which is SUCH an obnoxious invasion of personal space, even if it's your wife and kids)...Make sure you log off every time you use it. Clear your history (Tools, Internet Options, you'll find it there). Change your password, and don't write it down...Don't tell anyone what it is...Don't let it do the "remember me" thing, either.

You're so silly! Of course, if you log off at home, they will not be able to see your email on your home computer. If you remain signed on at work though, anyone who has access to your computer there can read your email. Oh one more thing to remember... if it is a yahoo email, you have that little check box that says to keep you signed in for two weeks unless you sign out or uncheck it. Make sure that you don't accidentally leave that on! And just to be extra safe, log out yourself each time you are done reading emails at home.

Why not change your password? And if you sign out of your email at home, then reopen it at work, they should not be able to get to it while you are on line at work.

Create a new email address for you wife an kids,then change your password in your primary address.

It can only be seen from your work if your remotely connected to your work and home computers. If you log out of your email at home, you can still log in to your email at work. I would keep my ID but change my password. No one should be reading your email.. Not the Wife or the kids no one but you.. You should also get a second email ID for your personal email and use the one you have just for work. It is free ;. I have several. Have your wife and kids get their own ID's too. You can also set everyone up with their own user account on the computer.

I do have to wonder what it is you don't want your family to see. If it's business, it should be ok.
