I was recently asked to help fix up an SBS 2k box that had some troubles. I
didn't do too much on the server, although I did run ICW. After I left, all
was working well. Then yesterday I went back, and ended up re-running ICW
again. After I ran it, I was told IMAP was no longer working.

I noted first of all there was no imap filter in ISA. I added one but then
still got a connection refused message.

I try to telnet to port 143 locally from the server, and get * BYE
Connection refused

I restarted the exchange imap service, same problem. Rebooted, same
troubles. Any idea where the issue is?

My only hint, perhaps, is that since there was no packet filter at all in
ISA for port 143, which is interesting, since it used to work for them.

I have no idea...

Thanks,
