Update Outlook 2k for SSL?

[Puddin' Man]

W2k sp4 on a little desktop system, DSL (1.2 mbps download)

I got Email from ISP ATT stating that Email must be SSL for continued
service.

Per Outlook "help", I am running:

Outlook 2k 9.0.0.2711
Corporate or workgrp
40 bit (Export version)

I followed numerous MS links. Appears I need to apply O2k SR1/1a, then extensions
to encryption, then ??? to get SSL support. I even tried to download SR1 from:

http://www.microsoft.com/office/ork/2000/appndx/toolbox.htm#o2sr1au

and got the infamous "The page cannot be found". Maybe a good thing: I don't
really know what I'm doing.

Would appreciate some direction.

Thx,
Puddin'

Go to http://office.microsoft.com/en-us/downloads/CD010225911033.aspx - I
think you need Sr1 first (its on page 2), then should install SP3.

Hmmmm. You "think"? Hmmmm.

The band-aids in the list are a release-chronology. I should just apply
all applicable, oldest to newest?

Gotta apply whilst downloading?

I should trust the Microsofty docs, modules implicitly?

Any gotcha's? Black holes?? Etc?

Anybody out there actually done this??? <g>

No, you don't need all of them - SP3 has all the previous updates except
sr1. It may have the SSL update, I can't recall for sure. (It's been, oh,
about 8 yrs since I used 2000 and some of the details are a little foggy
after all those years.)

I applied sr1, sr3, update to 40/56 bit (may have been unnecessary), then update
to 128 bit encryption. Voila: SSL!

Apparently worked OK. Thanks for your help.
