Exchange 2003 - POP3 Disable   

Hello,

I'm trying to connect to my Exchange 2003 using Outlook Express.  I noticed 
that the POP3 in my server is disable and I can not start it because all the 
options are "gray".  The question is, Why it is down and how can I start it?

Thanks,
Carlos

Re: Exchange 2003 - POP3 Disable   

So if you right click the POP3 Service the Start is greyed out?

Yes, all the options (start, stop, pause, resume, restart) are grayed out.

Right click the Service and select Properties.  Under Log On tab, what is 
selected?  Under Dependencies Tab, what is shown?

Re: Exchange 2003 - POP3 Disable   

Thanks for the help.  With your help I was able to determine the solution 
for the problem. I changed the 'Startup type' from Disable to Automatic.

Regards,
Carlos

Ah, I just assumed it was set to automatic.  Makes sense, thanks for the 
followup.
