I don't exactly understand if you've had an issue with Windows 98 clients. As long as the domain has a primary domain controller emulator, it shouldn't matter that you have Windows 98 clients still on the network.

I would consider an upgrade, since support for Windows 98 must be difficult by now. Windows doesn't need to talk to Exchange, but various versions of Outlook have different requirements. I found two links that might provide more pertinent information to your question:
