Has anyone any experience doing email this way?

We are using it.  More and more of our users are switching over to it.  It 
works a lot easier with internet email.  The fun part will be figuring out 
which pop/3 client you want to use.  Most of our users are currently using 
Netscape (it's free to school districts), we have looked at Pegasus, I've used 
Eudora Pro, and currently using Windows Messging that is built into Windows 95. 
 I just loaded Windows 95 on my desktop and thought I would try it for a while.

What are the performance issues, and how does it stack up to solution based on 
MS Exchange server??

Sorry, I've never used MS Exchange.  I do like using the the pop/3 client 
solution, especially when I'm traveling.  I can dial into Compuserve (ususally 
a local numer), and switch over to a pop/3 client and download my email off of 
our AS/400 using the Compuserve network.  Cuts downs on the long distance 
charges, but I still stay in touch with the office.
