Perhaps you could just use Lotus Notes? It can both encrypt the mail
(this is a user-by-user option for the mail server to automatically
encrypt all received mail with the users public key) and use an
encrypted IP channel between the client and server. Already RSA-based,
pretty user friendly. Does require a fat client, rather than just a
browser/POP client.
Works very well over the Internet. I used it for about 2 years with my
previous company. We only had a 56k line too.
