How to move mailbox from one exchange 2007 server to another

I tried right clicking the mailbox and selected the Move option. I ran through the wizard. It tells me that it cannot move the mailbox because the address list service is not running on the destination server. All Microsoft Exchange services are running. Please advise!

With regards to the Address list Service - Ensure that the START the Microsoft Exchange System Attendant service is running.
Sorry my last comment came out messy. Although I think that you could make out that I was trying to say:

The service was running on the destination server. I tried restarting it but it failed to start again. Most of the potential solutions I've found by googling this particular error relate to servers where the service can be started manually but in my case it will not start period. I can try a reboot of the server tonight but can't bring it down currently so if you have anything I can try that wont force our users offline I would love to try them!
