Do you mean for incoming or outgoing?

You need outgoing access on port 143 to connect to an IMAP server.  
Whether that is a security risk is entirely up to the security policy  
of your organisation. Security managers have a tendency  
(understandably) to only allow known or sanctioned traffic across  
their networks, so it might be worth having a conversation with the  
security manager about IMAP use policy.
