The simple answer:
If you are not running up to date Outbreak^WOutLook clients, then you
have security risks.  If Outlook is more than a couple months old,
then you are easily vulnerable to attack by messages that are out
there.  You need to upgrade them anyhow.

If it's a corp environment where it's appropriate to leave messages
on server, then perhaps IMAP is the better answer.  QPopper gets
slow when you are fighting large System 7 mailboxes (deleting message
2 requires a full rewrite of the box on quit) - over and over.

Other options:  Don't leave the damn mail on server when using
such a broken client as Outlook.
