Re: Giving up on POP3 Connector

If POP3 is not snap, crackle and pop-ing:

Kick up the monitoring and see what's going on. I still would not switch 15 people back to being in charge of their own email. Wouldn't do it even if you paid me a million bucks.

Seriously.

I have no pop issues here... you ran the connect to internet wizard yes?



Yes, i did...it works ok at times and then seems to "lock up" until i
restart the service (which i do by changing the log detail and it
restarts on its own)

getting errors about undelivered e-mails, it isn't checking for hours
(i came in this morning and checked my mail on the Outlook/Exchange
computer i have and then did a send/revieve from my laptop that is not
on the network but just checking normally and it received about 15
messages the server hadn't received...this was after about 15 hours of
not checking)...

if nobody can convince me, is there someone willing to let me know the
absolute most painless way of transitioning things back to the user
and disabling exchange?  I mostly had it on the server to help with
backups and to have Symantec Antivirus check it before hitting the
user (but that is making me worry since having it check on the server
can corrupt files and screw things up so you have to stop it from
scanning folders, blah blah blah...i'm sick of dealing with it)...
