Outlook 2010 is actually quite nice compared to 2007 (and better than 2003 as well). My main beef with OE is it's handling (or not) of larger mailboxes, and it's utterly woeful backup and disaster recovery issues.

Incidentally, 200 users is miniscule

Anyway, if you're wedded to POP then grab an early copy of Eudora, before Qualcomm followed MS's lead for bloatware. Light, fast, reliable, and so easy to troubleshoot I used to support 800 users on a site using that as only a quarter of my job function
