If by 'webmail' you mean that the mail is held on a corporate Exchange
server then you will find it difficult.
Evolution has a (semi proprietary) MAPI client that allows it to
access an Exchange server. It's really only of use to Evolution
unless you want to do lots of work.
The only other viable approach that I have found is a little Java
utility called FetchExc (a Google search will find it immediately),
this is a 'fetchmail' for fetching mail from the Web interface of an
Exchange server and it's what I use for accessing my mail at work
using mutt.
