You will want to (obviously but I didn’t see where you mentioned it) want to make sure the POP ports are opened from the outside to the requisite mail server… either through VPN or through your firewall to a secured Domino server. Those ports are 143 for IMAP and 110 for POP.

You will also likely want to open port 25 for SMTP (his sending mail) unless you are using a VPN for connection.

By the way… those of us who predate the Domino/Exchange plugins might remember how to set up a client using MAPI through the operating system to access Notes. I strongly discourage this for someone who is outside of your corporate location, as the set up can be complex and at times difficult to support.

I have a friend (sys admin at another company) who is using the Microsoft Lotus connector for Outlook as well by the way… his experience is that the connector is prone to generating support calls, so if you ever considered that… you might want to rethink it.
