OWA, POP3 and IMAP are all enabled with default protocols.

The customer has used only Eudora as their email client for at least the
last six years. They are VERY comfortable with it and are resisting any
change. Eventually they are going to move to Outlook, but for the short term
would like to have Eudora working properly.

What are the other options?
Not familiar with "RDP over HTTP" unles I know it as something else.

Thanks for your time,
Chris
