In your case, the Exchange admin would have to install/enable the IMAP4 connectors if they haven't already done so, then you could connect to your Exchange using LogicMail instead of using OWA. Yahoo/Gmail are not targets of this application.
Many, many universities and companies (mine included) use standards-compliant IMAP unix/linux servers for email, not Exchange/Outlook; the most common server daemons are UW-IMAP, Cyrus-IMAP, Courier-IMAP and Dovecot. LogicMail is filling a gap for us -- the RIM BES does not work because:
- it requires Windows
- it requires Exchange/Domino/Groupwise
- it does not support IMAP
...so we don't get the full BlackBerry experience on our devices. If RIM would get off their tuckus and release a unix/linux-based, IMAP-connecting version of BES there would be a ton of people all over it and LogicMail wouldn't really be that necessary (but still useful!).
