I have seen it is possible to view an outlook account over
the internet, can anyone let me know how this is done?
Thanks

No such thing as an "Outlook account". If you're referring to your email
account, just go to your ISP's web site and you should be able to log in and
see your mail that way.

I believe your isp or company (wherever the mail server
is) will need to have Outlook web access set up. If this
is an isp, go to their webpage and look for 'email.' This
should allow you to sign in and check your email from any
computer.

I don't know what you mean by "outlook account". Outlook the name of a
product from Microsoft which is an email client. You use this software
to connect to a mail server to get mail. You also use this software to
do basic personal information management (tasks, addresses, etc.)

There are ways to use the internet from one computer to get into your
home computer running Outlook and use Outlook. This is what you ask. I
don't think you want this.

If you want to get mail that normally is destined for your Outlook PC
but instead get it via logging into something via the internet ... check
with the company/organisation who runs you email account (ISP, IT
department, etc.). Find out what services they have available to you.
 
There's no such thing as an "Outlook web access". There is, as you point
out, such a thing as web email from one's ISP. As you should know, Outlook
is a Microsoft product and not a product of anyone's ISP.

Sorry I should have been clearer. One of our users would
like to view there home email account. One of the options
was for him to log on the internet to see his account. The
other way was to add his account to his business Outlook.
Would you know how to do this?

Do which, add it to Outlook or go to the web to see the emails?

If the former, go to Tools/Accounts and add the account from there using the
Wizard.

This is possible by Outlook Web Access which is part of Exchange.
Another way to go is to set up a VPN server on the corporate site and let
users connect to it from their home computers. This way they can have access
to all the network services and resources they normally have when they are
indoors. This also means the ability to connect to your internal Exchange
server with Outlook.

Actually, there is. Outlook Web Access is the feature in Microsoft Exchange
that allows a user to use a browser to work with their mailbox. Since it is
possible to use hosted Exchange from an ISP, it is also possible to get OWA
from an ISP.

Keep in mind that many businesses would frown on accessing personal Email
accounts from corporate systems. Opens up a big security concern.
