Before my company switched to new Exchange 2007 I could read email from wherever I was (over public facing owa through Evolution Exchange Connector), and if I understand you now this is not possible now because ports that are needed to do the communication are usually blocked by corporate firewall. Ok, I can use my email via Evolution now when I'm inside the company's LAN but before I had been spoiled by accessing my email from home or from anywhere else. Is there some solution to this?
