Have you tried reinstalling the IMS? It sounds like the MAPI thread inside the IMS that removes the inbound messages from the queue might be screwed up somewhat.
Does restarting the IMS have any effect?

The one that we are having problems with is an IMS that is used only to send/receive secure client e-mail via direct connections or vpn connections with clients. -----Original Message----- From: Joyce, Louis [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Wednesday, December 12, 2001 12:11 PM To: Exchange Discussions Subject: RE: Inbound Messages Awaiting Conversion Do you just have the one exchange server? Is the IMS on a separate server? Regards Mr Louis Joyce Computer Support Analyst Network Administrator BT Ignite eSolutions -----Original Message----- From: Friese, Casey [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: 12 December 2001 17:07 To: Exchange Discussions Subject: Inbound Messages Awaiting Conversion What would be the cause of messages getting hung in the Internet mail, "Inbound Messages Awaiting Conversion queue?" I've literrally got 2500 message stuck in that queue that have been there since the 10th. I cannot find any error logs in eventviewer. We have this problem periodically and the only solution has been to reboot the server. My boss is starting to press back now and wants to know the cause and a solution. We can send mail fine through the connector. Server is Exchange 5.5 sp4 on NT4 SP6a Thanks for your help _________________________________________________________________ List posting FAQ: http://www.swinc.com/resource/exch_faq.htm Archives: http://www.swynk.com/sitesearch/search.asp To unsubscribe: mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Exchange List admin: [EMAIL PROTECTED] _________________________________________________________________ List posting FAQ: http://www.swinc.com/resource/exch_faq.htm Archives: http://www.swynk.com/sitesearch/search.asp To unsubscribe: mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Exchange List admin: [EMAIL PROTECTED] _________________________________________________________________ List posting FAQ: http://www.swinc.com/resource/exch_faq.htm Archives: http://www.swynk.com/sitesearch/search.asp To unsubscribe: mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Exchange List admin: [EMAIL PROTECTED] _________________________________________________________________ List posting FAQ: http://www.swinc.com/resource/exch_faq.htm Archives: http://www.swynk.com/sitesearch/search.asp To unsubscribe: mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Exchange List admin: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
