I've not seen issues connecting, but I have had users that claim they
don't get mail. I've tried to educate these users that the mail is in the
mail system and it's their client that is not notifying the users of new
mail (both Outlook 2003, Outlook 2007, and Mac Mail.app). One user has
hundreds and hundreds of folders and sieve rules for filtering and filing
mail. I've tried to teach the user to have everything come to the inbox
for manual filing, but the user did not receive my suggestion very well.

We're a small shop with only 25 users. Two users use the POP3 connections
over SSL (remote users), the others use internal IMAP4 not over SSL.
