Iain,

If you were referring to IIS not ILS, I wouldn't suggest removing them.. it
was more of if they had been then we'd need to make sure that the POP3
connector sink was in place by using the imbreg.exe to re-register it..

If you remove/re-install IIS there is alot of things that would need to be
repaired afterwards, including but not limited, to such things as re-running
imbreg.exe, re-run exchange setup to do a re-install, companyweb/wss, remote
web workplace, 3rd party AV software etc

BTW, I've not received your email.. can you resend it (might want to rename
the attachment as say .em_ )

Thanks,
David Copeland
