I had this happen about two weeks ago with a customer of mine. I had to go
in and manually set the RRAS firewall setting (Dual NIC, no ISA). Both POP3
and IMAP were off in the firewall settings. Thought it was a fluke, so the
last thing I thought was that you would be having the same problem.

Wonder what's going on with this. Anyone else having similar issues out
there?
