The option to use TLS becomes available on the server end once you install a
certificate on the SMTP virtual server (an x509 certificate enables TLS once

Outlook Express does support using SSL through SMTP. Go to the mail
accounts Advanced tab and check "This server requires a secure connection
(SSL)".
