Changing mail settings for each user

We are running both AD on Win2k and Exchange 2k if that helps.
We are switching email providers this week. Right now each Outlook client downloads their own email from the pop3 server and stores it on the Exchange server. Is there any easy way, perhaps using the ORK, to change the mail settings without visiting each computer? Each user's email address is their logon name @ our external email domain, so scripting is a possibility if I knew what to change. I should also include that each installation was installed using an Administrative Installation.

Don't know if this helps or makes matters worse, but I found the registry entry where the mail server information is kept.

HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Office\Outlook\OMI Account Manager\Accounts\00000001

Now I need to have the values changed accordingly
POP3 Server : same for each user
POP3 User Name : %USERNAME%
passwords are the same as before (good thing, they're encrypted)

Is this even possible? Am I going to need something like Kixtart?
