I'm in an S&T role, but want to switch to IBD at my BB. Is it fine to email guys in IBD to ask them out for a coffee or phone call? Or is networking best handled outside of company emails? I don't want HR to bust my ass.

Best line, once face to face, is to find a deal with some cap markets he originated and, say that that deal (through flow you saw or talk etc) perked your interest. Nice little ego boost for him.
I don't think e-mailing from your work e-mail is a good idea. At my bank, if you try to cross the wall, a warning usually pops up on outlook followed up by a call from compliance.
Best bet is to e-mail them from a personal e-mail.
