Ask your work’s IT department before you start – they may have an email policy that prohibits such access due to security concerns.

From what I’ve seen on this page it will require you lose all other mail settings you have set. Of course that article’s walkthrough also requires a physical sync. Not having owned an iPhone myself, I will leave it to another Flutherite to answer definitively.

no other people in the building communicate through their blackberry’s…we don’t really have an IT department either…

Yes, you can have multiple e-mail accounts on your iPhone. Only settings are synced between computers, not e-mails.

You’ll need:
– username
– password
– incoming mail server
– port number (if it’s not the typical one)
– outgoing mail server
– see if it requires authentication
– port number (if it’s not the typical one)

Create your new e-mail account on the iPhone in Settings—> Mail, Contacts, Calendars—> Add Account…
