Receive multiple exchange accounts

I'm an independant programmer, I work for several companies on an ad-hoc basis. Several have Exchange mail and they insist that I use one of their email addresses for communication with their clients. I need to monitor several exchange servers all day long to deal with incoming email.

Most allow POP connections so I just set them all up in Outlook. But now I have two that won't, they're only allowing the Exchange-style connection and Outlook will only support one exchange connection.

Does anyone know of a way that I can have more than one Exchange account in the same email client? I'm not married to Outlook, but it's been good until now...

You can't do this with outlook. It is limited to only one exchange account at a time. Do they offer outlook web access?
you could have internet explorer open and have several tabs open each with a different account.

I'm currently using Outlook for 1 exchange account + 6 pop accounts, and I've added a browser window with OWA. For some reason OWA doesn't auto refress, so I have to keep pushing the 'send and receive' button each hour or so to see if I have mail.
I tried to create a 'forward all' rule in OWA to send a copy of all my mail to an account in Outlook... but that's not working.
So... Is OWA supposed to 'auto refresh'? Any idea why the 'auto forward' isn't working?
Thank you very much for your time...

Yes, I'm in IE8. I remember that with other Exchange accounts it seemed to auto refresh, but this one is not. If anyone knows if there is an Exchange setting for that, I'd forward that to the sys admins. Also, if anyone knows where the 'auto forward' rule might be located, I could forward that to the sys admins. The auto forward is much more important to me, it would allow me to close OWA and only open it when mail comes in.

Thanks!
