people to access. This way if my server goes down, the main server
will still be getting mail and we can access it through a POP3
connection.

You'd need a third party application called a POP connector. Exchange
doesn't include one, unless you use SBS. I don't recommend using POP at
all - you have your own mail server.
Rather than going this route, why not just host your own mail directly on
the server via SMTP, and have another server set up for backup? As in, their
server is specified as a higher-cost/lower-priority MX record in your
domain's DNS - and they can receive mail, queue it, and automatically try
redelivery for X days if the primary mail server isn't available.
www.dyndns.org offers this for about $20/yr or so - their service is called
MailHop Backup MX.
