Won't work for accessing a private internal email server, tho. Only
for accessing public mail servers like Yahoo, Gmail, etc. If his
domain is hosted by Google Apps, that might work. If they use an
internal server (say Courier), BIS won't access it, IIRC.

I believe that's the difference between BES and BIS.
