First and foremost:
This is not a standard smtp/pop setup, there are specific things YOU MUST DO in order to get everything setup.
NOTE: Outlook XP/2002 isn't currently supported. We are in communications with Microsoft concerning a bug we have found in this product. Outlook XP/2002 will not communicate properly through SMTP-SSL(Alternate Port), which is one of the methods used to connect to our servers.
Update: Please refer to this link for a possible fix for the problem.
Also:
We've recently implemented "Start TLS" along with "Alternate Port) for our new services. We've ran tests on Outlook 2000 and OE 6.0+ and it seems to work fine. Eudora encountered no problems (except you need to change the certificate, for new users, this doesn't apply).

The setup instructions below should be able to give you enough insight to setup which ever client you choose.

POP: POP SSL (POP3s, via alternate port &; Start TLS) and standard POP3 (POP) are the two supported services. If your Email client doesn't support POP SSL (POP3s, via alternate port or &; Start TLS) or POP3, you'll not be able to use Cotse Pop Services with that particular client.
