So, your Windows admins won't turn on POP or IMAP, and you need to  
get your mail?

There are very limited numbers of ways to get mail out from  
Exchange.  I assume the login screen problem for Web based Outlook is  
not something you want to fix... so: Evolution.  You're lucky you  
didn't say some of the other OS's, since I don't think there *are*  
any other ways to get email out of it.

POP, IMAP, Outlook, Web, or Evolution.   (I think Mac Entourage uses  
IMAP, at least a bit... but I could be wrong.  And it's OS X.)

In short.. you've just ruled out every option.

Why do you need to access 2 exchange servers?  You should only have 1  
email account under exchange to check, if the admins have done a  
semidecent job, or can at least forward to the right mailbox store on  
*ONE* exchange server.
