Re: POP3 email problems

You might get lucky if those people were using Web Mail from their ISP or if they have a Web Mail interface and Outlook was leaving the mail on the ISP mail server.

I reinstalled my customer's server with SBS 2003. The server had not been
set up properly, updates were not installing and there was other unusual
behavior.

The previous installation did not have Exchange installed, they were
downloading their email directly from the ISP via POP3.

After I set the server up I joined the workstations to a workgroup and then
rejoined them to the new domain.

I set their Outlook clients up again (not using Exchange yet but it is
installed on the server), opened Outlook, downloaded the new email to their
workstations (they had been gone for several days).

Their old email is gone!!!! What did I do wrong???!!!

I realize now I should have done an export on their email prior to
unjoinging/rejoining but I didn't. Any idea where I can find their email?

They have their old archives but unfortunately it does not have the email
that was sitting in their inboxes.

Thank you for any assistance.
