Exchange 2003 mails logged but not in inbox
Hello,I'm new to exchange but it seems i have done something wrong. I have a windows sbs and exchange 2003I'm using (atm) just one user to test.I can connect to my exchange server and sync calendars, taksks, ... and until recently mails. But now it seems my mails aren't coming in. The problem started when I removed my user, and recreated one with the same properties. I imported my data (calendars, tasks, ...) from a backup (all worked well even mails) and since no new mails.I removed any user restrictions, quota limits, and started logging the incoming mails with the message tracking option on the exchange server. All my mail come in with the pop connector (so i have no mx record atm, just 2 pop servers configured on the connector). I can see all my mails coming in to my user in the message tracking logs but when i try to see them with outlook or webaccess, there's nothing in my inbox.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 mails that came in.I made a new user and tested if he recieved mails but no luck.Thanks

What happens when you send yourself a message through a mail client like Outlook or OWA? Does it come right back?
How long ago did you remove the mailbox and re-create it before testing with the new one? Sometimes the directory cache needs to expire before the server will realize the information it has in memory is stale.
Did you turn up diagnostics logging on the Message Transport to see if anything was erroring out?
Just a couple of random thoughts.
