For those who will still need to be accessing their emails outside their office, they can use the web mail service by logging to mail.barua.co.ke where you are required to enter your email address and finally your password.

However, this can be more beneficial when you configure the server through your Outlook or Microsoft Outlook to leave a copy of the messages in the server.

The procedure is as shown below:

On Outlook Express / Microsoft Express

• From tools menu, select accounts

• From the dialog box that appears, select mail.barua.co.ke and select the properties Tab on your right, after selecting the mail just before new tab.

• On the resulting menu select Advanced options Tab

• Check the box for leave a copy of the messages on the server under Delivery Option.

• Finally Click apply and OK
