When a VPN client connects to a firewall, that client becomes a virtual LAN client. And my bet is, you don't have internal DNS server running that has an A record for the mail server (mail.yourcompany.com) that the pop3 mail client has configured in his/her Outlook profile. The solution is: (a) run internal DNS server that contains the A record; or, (b) have the VPN users use Exchange's SMTP (since the VPN user become a virtual LAN client) rather than POP3.

The Netscreen installed in transparent mode just fine. And I am able to allow users to get to thier email using a pop3 incoming rule. But I don't understand how to setup the client to enter the network as a full user using the client software. I install the Netscreen vpn client and I lose the ability to get to the mail server. Do I use the router's (a Cisco 800) Internet address at the client web browser to gain network access. The Help files tells how to install the IPSec security but not the other issues. And my ISP wants paid (with a 4 hour minimum) just to get me started. I am sure that after I get a few questions answered I will be fine.
