Hopefully IMAP is already enabled and it is possible to find the
necessary account settings through Outlook (e.g. imap server and port in
authinfo). [1]
Is the username and password normally the same as machine login
credentials (in typical office-based solutions) as there are no separate
(user managed) credentials for the mail server?
Maybe this could be easy after all?
Footnotes:
[1] It looks like one should be able to go to the settings for the
account under Tools in Outlook and find all settings.
