How would I hook up to my corporate e-mail and data via Wi-Fi at Starbucks in a different city?

The same way you would or would not from any remote internet connection. There is no real difference between a WiFi connection in Starbucks, a rent-a-computer in some Internet Cafe, an internet connection in your hotel room, or access to an internet-connected computer at a company you are visiting. All of these provide connectivity. Whether or not you are able to connect to corporate e-mail and data from any of them depends on the nature of corporate security mechanisms. Only the most draconian would require you to dial in to a specific remote number and, perhaps even to have that modem dial you back. Coming in from the internet can be done in a variety of ways, some of which require no special software on the local machine, some of which do require pre-established VPN software and such. With the latter, the WiFi connection is more secure than some because you are using your own machine with your own specialized software to make the connection.
