This seems impossible to me. SInce you are trying to read via a
webpage, and port 80 is open, it must be something else going on.

If he can't read his mail from a web page then there must be some other
issue, since that also is port 80, presumably?
You could try port scanning your incoming mail server to see which
ports are actually open... Then if you have control of this you could
select a (non-standard) but open one.
Sort of sounds like there might just be an issue with the mail
altogether. Maybe it will fix itself?
