It should make no difference.

If the webmail sees it, then Dovecot sees it and I can't really think of
why MS Mail wouldn't see it.. Do you mean even a client restart won't
help? Or are they using different Dovecot servers?

You could enable rawlog (http://wiki.dovecot.org/Debugging/Rawlog) for
the users having the problem and see if it shows the mails being sent to
MS Mail.

If webmail sees the mails, I don't see it making any difference.
