Quick POP3 question

Quick question I hope someone can answer for me: Right now I've got email up and running via Postfix. I can send and receive emails through the Usermin interface and everything shows up as it should. My question is this: do I need to have anything else set for users to connect to their mail through Outlook? I'm not using @ in the usernames or anything. Here's part of my /etc/postfix/mail.cf file:

readme_directory = /usr/share/doc/packages/postfix/README_FILES inet_protocols = all biff = no mail_spool_directory = /var/mail canonical_maps = hash:/etc/postfix/canonical virtual_alias_maps = hash:/etc/postfix/virtusertable virtual_alias_domains = jrobs.com solarishomehealth.com relocated_maps = hash:/etc/postfix/relocated transport_maps = hash:/etc/postfix/transport sender_canonical_maps = hash:/etc/postfix/sender_canonical masquerade_exceptions = root masquerade_classes = envelope_sender, header_sender, header_recipient myhostname = DECWEB.$mydomain program_directory = /usr/lib/postfix masquerade_domains = mydestination = $myhostname, localhost.$mydomain defer_transports = disable_dns_lookups = no mailbox_command = mailbox_transport = strict_8bitmime = no disable_mime_output_conversion = no smtpd_sender_restrictions = hash:/etc/postfix/access smtpd_client_restrictions = smtpd_helo_required = no smtpd_helo_restrictions = strict_rfc821_envelopes = no smtpd_recipient_restrictions = permit_sasl_authenticated,permit_mynetworks,check_relay_domains smtp_sasl_auth_enable = no smtpd_sasl_auth_enable = yes smtpd_use_tls = yes smtp_use_tls = yes alias_maps = hash:/etc/aliases mailbox_size_limit = 0 message_size_limit = 10240000 mydomain = solarisstaff.com smtpd_sasl_local_domain = smtpd_sasl_security_options = noanonymous broken_sasl_auth_clients = yes smtpd_tls_auth_only = no smtp_tls_note_starttls_offer = yes smtpd_tls_key_file = /etc/postfix/ssl/smtpd.key smtpd_tls_cert_file = /etc/postfix/ssl/smtpd.crt smtpd_tls_CAfile = /etc/postfix/ssl/cacert.pem smtpd_tls_loglevel = 1 smtpd_tls_received_header = yes smtpd_tls_session_cache_timeout = 3600s tls_random_source = dev:/dev/urandom

Anyone? I just need to know if I have to have something else installed. Is Dovecot necessary or can I just use Postfix and get pop3 email in Outlook?

dovecot is the default pop3 and imap server.
postfix is a sendmail replacement.
