Re: Exchange Server POP3 protocol not started after reboot

Tech-Archive recommends: Repair Windows Errors & Optimize Windows Performance

Hi Jerry,
Sorry to take so long to reply.
I wanted to install SBS 2003 SP1 and see if it made any difference before getting back.
I downloaded the metabase explorer and checked the entries.
They are both set to "1".

The update to SP1 did not fix it ether.
So back to square one.
