IMAP and POP3 Service Missing After CAS Reinstall

So a few nights ago I had to reinstall the CAS Role to fix an EWS/ActiveSync issue. I just noticed today now that the IMAP/POP services are missing from services.msc. I checked the registery, the two keys are in there. The files exist in the %ExchangeDir%\ClientAccess\POPIMAP directory.

Any other way to have microsoft recognize this service. Anything other than reinstalling the CAS Role if possible?

I feel, reinstall exchange in recoverserver mode

I thought I saw somewhere that recover mode wouldn't fix it. I did hear someone say that reinstalling the CAS role fixed it for them. I however would REALLY like to avoid that one as its quite a bit of dinking around to get all the external/internal urls/etc working again. Was hoping there would be something simplier. My exchangesetup.log is pretty lengthy.. I'll try to parse it out. Like I said before I reinstalled the CAS role and lost IMAP/POP in the process.

Just went through the exchange install log, and saw a bunch of lines (with success) stating that IMAP this and IMAP that was being installed/configured. The log did have some errors related to .NET though.. which I later resolved.

What exactly does RecoverServer do? Does it 'backup' my CAS settings and restore them after a reinstall?

Is it less disruptive then uninstall/reinstall of CAS?

you can zip the setup log and then upload it.

Uninstalling the CAS role and reinstalling it from the original CD (not Sp3 download) resolved the issue, in combination with removing the pop3/imap.config files from the Exchange CAS Directory.
