SBS2003 exchange connector for POP3 mailboxes stuck stopping
Long story short. Had to run chkdsk /f on a D: drive of a 2 volume (C: RAID 1 (system - ok), D: RAID 5 (data - problem)
LOTS of orphaned files which I can pretty much handle from backup, but now the Connector for POP3 mailboxes service is stuck in stopping state. I tried restarting the information store, etc but it doesn't take. Also the POP3 connector that used to be there is gone now.
The rest of the exchange system is running and it looks like if I could get the POP3 connector recongifed, I could get by.

Try this,
Rename the C:\Program Files\Microsoft Backoffice\Connectivity\PO
Then try to start the service.

Try to re-register the event sink by double clicking the imbreg.exe file which is available in the Program Files\Windows Small business server\Networking\POP3.
To determine whether the POP3 Connector event sink has been registered successfully, run the Smtpreg.vbs Event management Script on the Windows Small Business Server-based computer. To do this, follow these steps: a. Visit the following: http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms528023(EXCHG.10).aspx
Copy the code that appears on this Web page to a file that is named Smtpreg.vbs. Save this file in the following folder: %SYSTEMDRIVE%\Inetpub\Admi
Binding |
---------
Event: SMTP Transport OnSubmission
ID: {66F4180A-627E-4073-8D31-5
Name: POP3 Connector Event Sink
SinkClass: Imbdlvres.IMBDeliveryEvent
Enabled: True
SourceProperties: {
rule = RCPT TO=*mspop3connector.*
priority = 0
}
Also check the path of the HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\
Hope this helps

Thank you very much.
There is NO SPOP3Connect\Imagepath at that location after \services (triple checked). There is a POP3svc folder highr up but with nothing you reference in it.
The second post's stuff checka out ok.
