Actually quite difficult to do all of what you want with a POP account.
You can certainly set each instance of Outlook to keep a copy of the message
on the server so that it can be downloaded by all the users (though why you
need to replicate ALL incoming messages across all three machines I'm not
sure). As to the rest, almost impossible without some sort of Exchange Sever
or equivalent AFAIK. The nearest equivalent would be to ask your ISP if they
do IMAP accounts, and then all three of your machines would be able to see
all the mail folders as they are all kept on the server. Whether your
Outlook would then be able to see if another one had replied to a message
I'm not sure. Probably not...
