Well, that is in part due to your approach. I myself would probably find a way to bring it like this: "Company policy requires that the most secure transport currently available is used. Therefore, as of ../../2004 you _will_ need to connect with pop3s, since we no longer offer plain pop3 logins." Of course, the neccessary help / training should be offered as well. And, you can always make exceptions for certain people / cases later on. > Apparently the users don't care, so why should we? Users are lazy, and uninformed. Give them a choice and they will always go for the status quo / the easiest way. Give them NO choice and you're good.
