Exchange pop3 service

[jdannan]

I just started at this company and am trying to get all these bugs sorted out. I've noticed that the pop3 service does not start automatically as it should. It's set to automatic under services.msc but fails to start by itself every time the system is rebooted. I have to manually start the service. Anyone have a clue to what is going on?

Thanks.

Have you checked for any POP3 or Exchange errors or warnings in the Event Viewer? START -> ADMINISTRATIVE TOOLS -> EVENT VIEWER -> APPLICATION

Is there a need for the service to actually run? It's disabled by default.

An error occurred while starting the Microsoft Exchange POP3 Service: server instance number 1 failed to start with error 0x80040a01.

I just went and checked the event viewer and found this.

The Microsoft Exchange System Attendant service may not come online if the RootVer registry value is invalid on a server that is running Exchange Server 2003
