We have done it like this. We only allow pop/imap encrypted (port 993, 995). 
The DNS in office gives you the IP depending from which side your are coming 
(internal/external).
If you can't control that imap server I would try it with your firewall.
The wired device is diferent from the wireless device so you could make a 
redirect for the packages to the imap server depending from their origen. 
I prefer the first one as it is more transparent and easier to debug.
