Jason,
There's two (I think) files for each bad mail item in the badmail folder.
Sort them by date and see if they are all from the time period you are
missing mail. You can open up the ones with the .bad extension in any text
editor (notepad) and see what's in them.
Have you got your NDR's being sent to someone on your lan? Perhaps there are
copies of all that mail in that mailbox. If you haven't got that feature
configured, do so. But of course, there is still a reason why mail isn't
getting delivered, and hopefully the logfiles will help.
Check your event viewer for the pop3 events, for SMTP the location of the
log file is specified in the area where you turned it on. Can't remember off
hand - c:\windows\system32\logs or something similar.
