Just a bit more info, please. Specifically, what webmail? (Hotmail? OWA?). What do you mean "can not receive mails if their outlook is closed"? You mean emails get rejected by the server unless the user has Outlook open?

By webmail I mean when they access the mail server using the web browser - Internet explorer. Mail can be sent alright, but will not receive mails unless outlook is open. It is not rejected because it is received but only when you have outlook open, and for those who do not have outlook installed, no mail is received. I hope this makes the situation clearer.
Ok, so, the users are using Outlook Web Access (OWA).
If you have OWA open, you won't see "new" mail unless you hit the button to check your Inbox. It won't automatically show up in OWA like it does in Outlook.
Have a user access OWA, then send themselves an email. After they send it, have them hit the Check for new messages button to see that it is there.
