If the IP of the work IMAP server is static, edit your /etc/hosts file.

If it is not static, there would be other hacks left.

I had a handy init script, that determines the network by MAC addresses
and changed some of the /etc/hosts entries accordingly. This was
necessary, as I was in a similar situation: The IP of the very same IMAP
server differed between the local and public net.

I can send you this simple script, if you like to.
