and apparently POP/IMAP and SMTP are disabled by default.
Hard to send mail to the outside world without SMTP ;-) It is in
use somewhere there.
You will, unfortunately, not get anywhere without IMAP (secure or
otherwise) activated. It is trivial to activate and actually
increases the security posture of the system (provided at least one
user abandon's MAPI and uses IMAPS). To activate IMAP on the
Exchange server, it is a matter of a single checkbox. Other than
that, all the management functions applied to the proprietary MAPI
accessed accounts are applied to the IMAP accessed accounts as well.
MS actually did a fairly decent job with IMAP on Exchange. Not as
good as high end servers like Sun/iPlanet but decent.
So, if you are going to use Mail, you should have both HTTP(S) and
IMAP(S) turned on at the Exchange server. Entourage can get along
with just HTTP(S) as this is actually WebDAV on the server. Cannot
fathom why Apple cannot get along with just WebDAV as well. In
reality, if IMAP is on, why bother with WebDAV for mail right? There
might be some kind of feature in there though that only can be
accessed via WebDAV, don't know.
Anyway, if this is an impossibility, then the other alternative is to
run a Mac OS X box and a mail system on it. SMTP has to be in use in
your organization if they send mail to the outside world. The trick
is finding it.

What do I need to make him do to allow non-Microsoft mailers access
to the corporate mail system?
