At least if your org is on Office365 and doesn't have too restrictive policies, you can get your email over standard IMAP. There also exist some nice man-in-the-middle proxies which pretend to exchange servers that you've implemented the policies they ask for. I've got multiple "work" (one is a volunteering role) office365 exchange accounts on my personal phone, using [https://sites.google.com/site/bikomobi/exchained](exchained) https://sites.google.com/site/bikomobi/exchained](exchained). Seems to work well. I'm sure the respective IT departments would give me a stern talking to, but there is nothing in either job that is of any sensitive nature whatsoever so their blanket "ask for admin permissions on my phone" policies can get fd, frankly.

Experiences vary. Some stodgy F500's have IMAP and ActiveSync locked down in various ways that force you to run the Outlook app.

  The Outlook iPhone app doesn't require MDM.

    It can, and their MAM blurs some lines.

  Tons of places outside of F500 are doing that. At work we just disabled IMAP for almost all O365 accounts and any other method of authentication that doesn't implement our two factor authentication. The rising number of compromised accounts because the user used the same password elsewhere, apparent bruteforce attacks, etal forced the issue. Of course MDM is not required for any of this. Worst case is on Android you're forced to use Microsoft's Outlook app.

  True, but at the very least the parser should stop on "]". RFC 3986 doesn't allow square brackets in URIs.

I've also used exchained but I find that I have to constantly restart it for my emails to work.
