I ended up looking at the logs (which is what I should have done in the
first place). I compaired a session that I had open with Mozilla
Mail/SSL (which i knew was working) and with the one I had with
Outlook/SSL. And they look the same.
Outlook doesn't show if it is in SSL "mode" or not. Or not that I know
of anyway.
