Hi all, in case anyone else might run into this issue...

Just finished with an issue that popped up last night. All new incoming 
messages had nothing in the 'text body' and only the 'html body' was populated. 
Remedy takes the inbound messages and creates incidents where the body of the 
message populates the Notes field.

Our Exchange system owner upgraded the system at the same time the problem 
occurred. We went from Exchange 2010 SP1 Rollup 6 to Exchange 2010 SP2 Rollup 2 
on the CAS servers.

Our inbound mailboxes use POP to connect to Exchange. This upgrade changed how 
messages were formatted/sent in some way. Don't really know the root cause.

The resolution/workaround was to change the settings on the Exchange mailbox 
that Remedy uses for POP message retrieval. Instead of using the default of 
something like "bestmethod", it was changed to something like "text and html 
alternative". This is the command we used on the mailboxes.

Set-CASMailbox mailboxname -PopMessagesRetrievalMimeFormat 2 
-PopUseProtocolDefaults $false

Since the CAS servers were upgraded first and the mailbox servers will be done 
tonight, there is a possibility that the issue was only occurring during the 
window where the two server types aren't in sync. We'll be testing that 
scenario next week. It's possible we won't need the mailbox modification at all.

Ron
