You could capture the emails directly off the LAN using DSNIFF. Google
dsniff to find out more.

Subject: Exchange <--> Outlook Monitoring

Is there any effective way of capturing exchange / outlook data from a 3rd
party machine?  We have a number of sub consultants with email access from
our company, who's email needs to be monitored / archived for breech of
contract and sharing of company secrets.  Problem is, we don't maintain our
exchange server here in this office, and the office that does is unwilling
to cooperate in this matter (Read: upper management catfight).  Therefore we
need a way to ensure that what they send and receive is legit.  It is a
relatively small number of users
(~5) that are still on our LAN that need to be monitored, the rest have been
moved to another subnet without company email. 

My understanding is that it is nowhere near as easy to capture these emails
when it is an exchange environment vs.. the options available when using POP
or others.

Any help, or nudges in the right direction would be helpful.
