I don't know the answer to your question for sure, but I think that would do it.
I've been (slowly) migrating a few accounts from pop3 to imap too. From what
I've seen on the internet though, I'm leery to use Outlook as an IMAP client
with Courier. I hear that Outlook does well with Exchange (to be expected),
but there have been problems getting it to work well with other IMAP
servers. I don't recall any specifics, and YMMV depending on the Outlook
version. I'd recommend doing a prototype test with it though before
committing to a domain-wide change.
What benefit are you trying to achieve? Are there roaming users who need to
access their email outside of the office? If so, they could continue to use
pop3 and simply leave the email on the server for a period of time
(configured in Outlook).
Please let us know how you make out.
