APPLIES TO

This article was previously published under Q160109

SYMPTOMS

If the mailroot directory tree (Inetpub\Mailroot...) is deleted before upgrading SMTP/POP3, only part of the tree will be created. Specifically, the only two directories in the tree that are created are the \Inetpub\Mailroot directories. The Queue, Badmail, Mailbox, and Pickup directories are not created. This only happens during an upgrade.

MORE INFORMATION

In accordance with the Readme files included with RC1, upgrades are not recommended.

STATUS

Microsoft has confirmed this to be a problem in Microsoft Commercial Internet System (MCIS) version 1.0. We are researching this problem and will post new information here in the Microsoft Knowledge Base as it becomes available.
