Logged into work computer and the first email in the queue read (in part) as follows:

To: All Employees

The Information Technology division (IT) is working to improve the quality of services we provide to company employees. As we make upgrades and enhancements to our email systems, starting this evening, March 28, you will notice some changes when logging into your email account on the web. The website will no longer use a pop-up window to ask you to log in; rather, you will see a log-in "form" (shown below).

Please do not be alarmed by these changes. You can always be sure that you are on a legitimate company website if your web browser's address bar reads xxxxx.net.

Now, why does that email fill me with fear and loathing? Because company IT "experts" are notorious for "fixing" what ain't broken and then it doesn't work.

I tell you what. Suppose I forward all my urgent company email to my home account and tomorrow bring my little laptop with its wireless access, just in case?

Sounds like a plan to me.
