...a school of 200 kids with a Linux/Sendmail server. The students have access to approx. 50 machines across three labs, so I would like them to be able to check their mail anywhere. The clients run Windows 98 on a Win NT 4.0 domain. Students have their own user names and passwords, but not individual profiles (all desktops are uniform).

I've been told Outlook could do this, but would like to avoid Outlook if possible due to security concerns.

Take care,

Outlook Express and imap mail accounts should work fine. Outlook Express is an easy to use and friendly eamil client.
Your other alternative is a web based email client. I use Squirrelmail from www.squirrelmail.org. This is an excellent (free) product which you throw on your linux box and is very easy to install. It also allows user customisation with themes.
