Should I use Outlook Express or Microsoft Outlook within a 2003 server domain of 30 computers
Firstly which of the 2 programs should I use and why?
Secondly, I would like to continue using Outlook Express if possible.
Thirdly, when I set up individual domain accounts for each teacher, is it possible to set up Outloook Express in such a way, so that each teacher or student only sees their own mail without having access to others mail? MUST I set up a POP3 server on the 2003 server?

I don't know Server 2003 as I don't use it, but I think if you set your Outlook profiles to have their Data file on the server you should be able to use roving profiles to attain the result desired. I am also a big fan of POP3 and think it should suit the situation.
Outlook is much more robust, easier for the admin to manage, and most likely a better choice for your end users. Teachers will probably really appreciate the Calendar features for example. It's pretty easy to use Outlook with roaming profiles. Simply store the user's .pst file in their personal network share.
As for your question about POP3... Your question seems a bit vague to me. Are you saying that you don't already have a mail server set up? If not, then that's a whole other ball of wax. If so, then there would be no need to set up a POP3 server on the 2003 Server. Assuming that your network policy allows it, your clients should still be able to utilize any other mail server outside of your local domain. Please elaborate on your question a bit if I haven't answered it here.
Cheers!

I do not have a mail server. We have been logging onto an external mail server. I do not want to set one up if it is not necessary. No one will need to access their mail from outside the building (local domain). I just want to know how to have Outlook only show one mail account when that particular person logs onto their own active directory profile (roaming or whatever) from any PC in the domain. Can that be done without setting up our own POP3 server. I forgot to mention that our domain will only be internal.
Thanks for all the responses.
