P.

Hi. I am running SBS2003 (fully patched) and hosting internal email with our internet (external) email hosted by an outside vendor. We use the POP3 Connector to download these external internet accounts into our local accounts. This works most of the time for most accounts; however, there will be 1-2 accounts that it will refuse to downlaod email for except at off times (during the middle of the night), or not at all. If I force an immediate download several times in a row, it will usually eventually d/l the email to these accounts. If I reboot the server the problem may move to another account, or stay with the same account. There are no POP3 errors in the event log. <br />
<br />
Any ideas?<br />
<br />

Small Business Server (SBS) is a line of server operating systems targeted at small businesses by bundling the operating system with a number of other Microsoft products that would normally need to be purchased or licensed separately. The most notable inclusions are Exchange, SQL Server, SharePoint and ISA/TMG (Microsoft's firewall and proxy server).
