Allow Email, Block Internet

[Gweebs]

Is there a way I can set up a computer (with xp) for someone to use the outlook programme, but stop them from getting on the internet??

you could configure a firewall to allow outlook but deny internet explorer

Personally, I'd just remove DNS servers from their IP configuration.

Wouldn't that then stop the internet connection for the emails on the same account??

block all ports on windows firewall except 110 and the other outlook uses

Depends on what type of mail they are using.. pop/imap or even secured can change which port it uses. etc.

Obviosuly depends on how their email is configured as KDF says, but if you were in a corporate environment, and were using MS Exchange for instance...
