I just got an iPhone from my company. I have to access my work email on this iPhone 4. However, I can't use Grooveshark as my music service, since it only works on jailbroken iPhones.

How can I jailbreak my phone so that company's server is unaffected? Or would it possibly even be affected in the first place?

How do I un-jailbrake the phone later, so I can return it to my company later unaltered?

Is the only thing your company did to the phone is configure the mail app? Are you actually dealing with iOS5? iOS5 hasn't been released yet. – The White Phoenix Jul 13 '11 at 21:40
So did you do it? If so, how did it go? – Luke Aug 30 '12 at 17:57

Backup with iTunes to restore later, but just go to http://www.jailbreakme.com from you're iPhone, slide to unlock, and wait

Sounds like a viable approach to me. Just be SURE to have your backup image/file from iTunes. You should backup the backup image/file. – The White Phoenix Jul 13 '11 at 21:52
a) Will the company's server know that I am using jail break version. This is required since the updates has lot of policy information. b) Can I can go back to the original version without anyone knowing. I am not concerned about emails data. Just making sure they are secured. – Kapil D Jul 13 '11 at 21:58
With my iPhone 3G I found installing iOS updates would simply ruin the jailbreak, but everything else would continue normally. I doubt they'd ever notice, but I guess never say never. – The White Phoenix Jul 13 '11 at 22:19
They won't know unless you tell them or you get infected – Luke Jul 13 '11 at 22:23
