My answer is to provide web based mail for them. There are several
packages out there that will talk POP3 or IMAP to your mail server and
provide a web gateway.
note, you are still only talking 40 bit encryption, unless you can qualify
for a global certificate (limited to financial/banking interests IIRC) but
this is still better then having the passwords in the clear.
