You don't need the regedit if all your mail is going through exchange, which
is the recommended setup. You only need the regedit if you want Outlook to
default to an Internet Mail account, instead of an Exchange account.

Exchange can use the pop3 connector to pull or retrieve email from external
pop boxes, such as those you may have at an ISP. The pop3 connector can pull
mail from multiple pop boxes into one user account; or from one pop box to
one user account; or from one pop box to multiple users accounts if you have
a global pop box at the ISP.

Sending is different from receiving. Sending is always done via SMTP. In the
case your Outlook is sending directly to the internet, not via your Exchange
server (not recommended), you set the SMTP server you are sending to
(presumably your ISP) and credentials in every copy of Outlook.

If you send via your Exchange server, you can still send via your ISP SMTP
server (this is called smarthost), but the advantages are a) only one place
to configure SMTP, b) all mailboxes are on the server, in Exchange
mailboxes. The advantages cascade from here.
