You need to furnish more details in terms of what is the setup - OS, MTA, authentication module etc.

You will basically need a static IP. Make your email server accessible thru that IP. That should provide access to emails even remotely.

Alternatively, if you want more secure setup, deploy VPN for remote users. Then they can work as if they are connected to local lan.
