Question

Exchange mails logged but not in inbox

Exchange, SBS, Windows, SMTP, Outlook 2003, Exchange 2003

Hello,

I'm new to exchange but it seems i have done something wrong. I have a windows sbs and exchange 2003

I'm using (atm) just one user to test.

I can connect to my exchange server and sync calendars, taksks, ... and until yesterday mails. But now it seems my mails aren't coming in. I removed my user, and recreated one with the same properties (don't ask why :p). I imported my data from a backup (all worked well even mails) and since no new mails.

I removed any restrictions, and started logging the incoming mails. They all come in with the pop connector. I can see all my mails coming in to my user in the smpt logs but when i try to see them with web access or even on local network, there's nothing.

I checked most sites all day long but haven't found a solution. I prefer not to reinstall everything and i'd love it if i didn't lose the 30+ mails that came in.

I made a new user and tested if he recieved mails but no luck.

Thanks

Let me see if I understand your question. You have a 2003 Small Business Server, is this correct? Do you have a static public IP set for your exchange to use? Did you set up the server using the configuration wizards? What do you mean when you state "I removed any restrictions and started loggind the incoming mail" what exactly did you do? When you refer to "They all come in with the pop connector", do you mean that you are use a pop connector to get your email from another mail server?

With out additional information, I can only guess at solutions.
If this server is for a business - seek assistance from a local Microsoft certified Small Business Specialist with experience in SBS 2003. As a minimum you should get a static IP; register a domain name, have your ISP setup an MX and A record pointing to your 'mail.mycompany.com'
