Ms exchange - client options
Our IT team only allows us to use the outlook client on the LAN. The alternative is to use OWA on the browser.
They will not allow RPC over HTTP/S. This is insecure I believe.
Is there any plugin/add-on for outlook or thunderbird or any other email client on earth that allows email access through OWA?

If its RTP over HTTPS then its not any less secure than OWA (2046 bit encryption - no clear pwd sent).. Your IT teams reasons may be sometinng other than security ;)
No other options besides VPN.

And of course, OWA & Outlook Anywhere over HTTPS is also no less secure than VPN

Thanks guys!
Aside from that, no there is no outlook connector that I know of that lets you use your outlook client over the internet to talk to exchange without VPN or RPC over HTTP.
If your organisation has enabled IMAP over the internet maybe you can connect that way? But it would be a separate account in outlook, not your normal exchange account, so contacts / calendar would not be available.
