POP3 mail, downloaded but not delivered.

Hi.
Recently posted this in the wrong place :-(
I have SBS2000 and download via POP3, the mail is being
cleared from the ISP, but is NOT being delivered
internally. I have deleted the database and allowed the
system to recreate it, added all users back to the POP3
connector etc, but I STILL cannot recieve the mail
(although I guess that technically, I AM, just don't know
where it is going to!).
Any ideas guys? I don't particularly want to have to
reinstall unless I really have to.
The server worked fine for about 5/6 weeks after install.
Thanks,
Chris.

I have found that in the POP3 connector, you need to select a user or group
to deliver the emails to. Same thing was happening to me. You can go through
the wizard, or just right click on the pop3 connector in the SBS Admin
console, select properties and under the User Mailboxes tab,open the pop3
account that you have created and make sure there is a user specified.

I should have been a bit more specific, it's a global
account. Can't set individual users on that one (can I???)
The idea is that the server sorts out from the alias isn't
it? and then delivers accordingly - at least, I thought
that was the way it was meant to work. :-(

There is a click in the pop connector to turn logging to maximum for
all the steps the connector uses. You should see a problem in the
event viewer.
