Outlook Express and STARTTLS

2014-11-21 Thread Robert Moskowitz
I have one user that uses Outlook Express. Not only do I not use it, I don't have any systems here that can easily use it. I bit of a challenge. I am strictly enforcing STARTTLS or TLS for SMTP/POP3/IMAP connections. SO far a google search has not shown me how to configure this for a user.
