roaming profiles and pop3 emails

i have created roaming profiles for our users, but the C:\Documents and
Settings\%username%\Local Settings\Application Data\Microsoft\Outlook\
directories do not copy over

while the office is relatively small (30 users) it would make it much easier
for our users.

is there anything special that has to be done other than give the person
full permissions to their profile directory? everything else works fine
except for this.

thank you in advance

Put the PST files on another location (i.e, a mapped drive). This is
what we were doing around 2 years ago.

Thanks.

Youch. That's entirely unsupported and generally leads to performance
problems and frequently even data corruption. Don't do it.

To be blunt: POP mail is not suitable for a corporate environment. If you
can't get Exchange on premises, look into hosted Exchange. "No POP, no PST."
