Thank you. Did that. Webmail URL now gives 404 on http and on https says:
mail.domain.com uses an unsupported protocol 
ERR_SSL_VERSION_OR_CIPHER_MISMATCH

I tried the default one ie exchange.domain.com/EWS/Exchange.asmx , 
mail.domain.com/EWS/Exchange.asmx and the same without Exchange.asmx. 
They all gave me this error:
The reported error was "6 peer failed to perform TLS handshake. A packet 
with illegal or unsupported version was received."

Any further advice?

And thank you again.
