Companies that usually offer RAS for windows will offer the IMAP and POP for exchange server.  If there is no Dial up access, and especially if you cannot access your companies mail server over the internet, the
connectors / protocols for POP and IMAP will probably not be installed / enabled.  If that is the case, I doubt a sysadmin for a large company will install these services for just one or two people.
Also, the bit I am concerned about is scheduling / address book  related, but that part can probably wait ;)
