2 email accounts - different VPN

Is there a way to check two emails (via VPN's) in Outlook? I mean, like how
you consolidate POP3 accounts into Outlook so that it checks all of your
different emails in - one shot.
Example:
We have contractors that need to check their emails from their work place
plus ours. Preferrable without having to log off one VPN to go to the other.
These folks "don't feel like" checking both so they never check ours. We
need them to.
We have web access for outlook also, but still they don't.
Surely this is doable?
Thanks in advance.

I don't see how. One of the purposes of a VPN is to prevent access to other
networks while connected.
 
You might be able to make this work if you set the TCP/IP properties in both
VPN connections to NOT "Use the default gateway on the remote network".
When this option is set, the computer's default gateway becomes the default
gateway set in the first VPN connection; a second VPN and the host network's
gateways aren't consulted. Unchecking this setting on both VPN connections
should allow all 3 networks to be consulted, though you may also have to set
some static routes.
