There is an article in the February issue of Linux Journal about replacing Microshaft Exchange (there is a commercial product at http://www.bynari.net/insightserver.html).
From what I can tell Outlook users who connect to the Exchange server exchange messages in a proprietary format with proprietary headers (Corporate WorkGroup Mode). When you connect with Mozilla as a POP client, it can't decode this format. If your send mail with Mozilla, it never converts the mail to a non standard format, so you can read it just fine. If the Outlook users were to be connected to a standard POP/IMAP server they would be in Internet Mail Only Mode and would stick closer to the standard so you could probably read their stuff. If your mail were on a different non-Exchange system, mail from your Outlook/Exchange users would have to go through an MTA which would recode the message and headers to standard before sending it on to the remote system. You should be able to read that fine too. The problem is indeed the use of a non-standards based mail system.
