Want my work outlook email on iphone

I am going crazy trying to figure out how to get my work email from outlook to show up on my iPhone without having to go through webmail. My IT guy has told me that it can't be done without some expensive pc. of equipment (something they do have for the Blackberry), but if I was able to figure out how to get my calendar items pushed from outlook to ical from gmail, shouldn't there be something similar out there to allow me to get my outlook email, too?

17" MacBook Pro, Mac OS X (10.5.8)

Add account...Exchange
Enter you logon details and in the server url section, put in the first section of the url that you log on to webmail with i.e webmail.company.com
The domain is the line that you normally can't see, when you log onto your PC in the morning...click on the details link on your logon page to see it or ask IT
Password and username is your webmail logon p/w and username.

The iPhone will ask if you want to try and connect without security...say yes.

If it asks if you want to keep contacts on your phone, say "keep on phone".

That will give you Contacts, E-mail and Calendar all on your phone. You can turn each one on or off as you please and you can stop using the Google calendar if you want to, becasue you'll be dealing directly with the Exchange Server using Outlook Web Access.
CAlendar and e-mail will take a few minutes to update.

Push can be turned on in the accounts section on the phone as normal

Ta da!

They are wrong. Email to an Exchange server is quite secure (at least as secure as any mobile device can be; one can always be stolen and if the user hasn't taken appropriate precautions, security could be violated). Point them at this information:

http://www.apple.com/iphone/business/integration/#exchange

They can read up on how the iPhone works with Exchange in the documents on that web page. That should clear things up for them.

I have tried setting up the exchange account but it just doesn't work. It's not asking me for the domain name (says that it's optional)...it wants my server address which I am "assuming" is exchange.mycompany.com -- but keeps telling me that it can't verify the server and that the connection has failed. I appreciate all of you help!
