You have no problems with Outlook and POP?  Lucky man!

I wish we could just ban Outlook from the network entirely - it's insecure,
about as intuitive as trying to pole vault in zero gravity, and it has a
hideously braindead method of POP retrieval (retr * mails_in_box, dele instead
of (retr,dele) * mails_in_box - leading to multiple retrieval if the
connection breaks).  In addition I'm currently investigating IMAP servers to
bypass the problem of user PST files which tend to corrupt at a certain size -
and from a lot of digging with google and the cyrus list archives, I gather it
doesn't play very nicely with IMAP servers either.

Definite candidate for Worst Software Ever.
