There's mail apps for Linux. I think thunderbird is most popular.

My point was about corporate IT refusing to provide a mail server to the outside world.

So no IMAP/POP3 server or what do you mean? If so how does the web app work?

Webapp probably uses Exchange services internally and exposes only a web interface to the internet
