pop3 service do not start with error code 1067

What setup is on the server?

iis web server
and email server

Hi,

Usually this problem is due to Anti Virus software. Try disabling AV.
At command ptompt try: c:\services.msc --> start the pop3 service.

try "telnet localhost 110" does the pop3 server ansver?

no antivirus software installed
could not start the service
Error1067 : the process terminated unexpectedly

telnet do respond
+OK POP3

Hello,

Then your POP3 server is running, try accessing it fron mnother computer with:
telnet "pop3-server-ip" 110

Try disabling the firewall.

Upon bootup i was prompted
At least one service or driver failed during system startup. Use Event Viewer to examine the event log for details

In event viewer
microsoft pop3 service stopped with error code 203
the pop3 service failed to bind the main socket. error returned is <10048>

I am unable to login to the server to receive emails

i have removed the mail server role and reinstall it back
but the error is still there

yes you are right.
another pop3 service is running
silly me
have removed that service

thanks
