I would like to piggyback off of Chris' answer. If your only concern is your
partner not using SSL and if Google is not the threat, then a simple choice
would be to spend $10 on a Google Apps domain and set up an email system
through it so that you can force all users to use SSL. I believe you get up
to 200 email users for the $10 per year investment.
