Outlook is very buggy.
I think at technet (or it was in usenet) you can read a lot of articles 
to the SSL problem in Outlook.
There are different issues with SSL depending on the Outlook version and 
patchlevel.
I would say: It is much luck if an Outlook user can use SSL secured POP3 
and SMTP servers.
