I think we shouldn't jump to conclusions without knowing all the details about the OP's mail server configuration. If his company uses MS Cloud for managing emails, then most likely he will be able to access it by going to outlook.com and entering his work email and password. If his company uses internal exchange server, then outlook.com won't do. Most companies do have OWA but without knowing the address, it's impossible to guess how to access it. And then, of course, there is most often VPN that you need to go through even to access web-based email.

A lot of the comments above assume that the company is using exchange (whether local or through O365) which might not even be the case, they could be using any number of providers for that.
To the OP - instead of asking here on FT, wouldn't it be easier to just ask the local IT team to help you with that?

Yes, Outlook Web Access is frequently accessible without a VPN. Also where I work I can access the Exchange Server through mail apps on phones, iPads and PCs by setting up a separate mail account on the device for that serve. For instance, on my phone I have accounts for the work Exchange Server, personal Gmail account and old personal Yahoo account. All of this has to be allowed by the system administrator although it sounds like it is since others seem to have access. As you said, talk to someone at the help desk of the company or system admin to find out and possible get needed certificates and other security things if they are needed.
