Iain,

Yes, I did received the email (Thank You for the email) and have been
researching the issue.. One thing you might look at is.. verifying that the
\Program Files\Microsoft Windows Small Business Server\Networking\POP3
directory that the imbdlvres.dll shows a version of 5.2.2651.1 If it is,
then while the SMTP service is stopped.. Go to Start/Server
Management/Advanced Management/Pop3 Connector Manager/Open POP3 Connector
Manager then click on the Troubleshooting tab and make sure that the logging
level is set to Maximum. While you are there, do you have anything set in
the box of where undeliverable email should be sent?

Once you have the logging set to Maximum and the SMTP service stopped, click
on the Scheduling tab and click the Retrieve Now button..

Did you get any errors in the Application Event log regarding the POP3
downloading/delivery of email?

Hope that helps,
David Copeland
