Outlook Profiles
Where the same member of staff already uses Outlook to check their personal email and needs to check a non-personal email account they may add a second email account to the existing profile, so that both may be checked at the same time, or they can add a second profile. Both approaches are outlined on our web page outlining how to configure Outlook profiles.
