Email access issuess can cause short iPhone battery life
Authored by: firefly007 on Jul 20, '09 08:42:46AM

Many large scale corporations will block every and any port that is not being used by their systems. So if they don't use IMAP or POP - they will block it. It not stupid at all its good security practice.

I had the same problem - what I did was setup an old macmini I had to share its internet connection with the iPhone, then I set up openvpn on the macmini to connect to an outside server of mine. That way all the traffic is tunneled out though the corp firewall to my server and then off to the internet. It's not easy and you need a server on the outside - but it works. You could try using Hotspot Shield too.
