Thanks that helps.

They are also using several phones from a blackberry to windows mobile. Can
these also be setup for connecting with ssl or is there a better protocol

Thanks

2. Go to Servers\Servername\Protocols\POP3.
3. Right click Default POP3 virtual server and select Properties.
4. On the Access tab, click Authentication.
5. Check the box Requires SSL/TLS encryption.
6. Click OK.

2. Select View or change existing e-mail accounts and Click Next
3. Double Click your problematic e-mail account
