  5. Open Services. To open Services, click Start, click Run, and then type Services.msc.

Note

Logging results can be viewed through the Application log in Event Viewer. To open Event Viewer, click Start, point to All Programs, point to Administrative Tools, and then click Event Viewer.

Note

Maximum logging should only be used when troubleshooting the connector as this setting adds a significant number of entries to the Event log.

Note

Changes to the logging level do not take effect until the Microsoft Connector for POP3 Mailboxes service is restarted. Restarting the service temporarily interrupts the download of mail until the service starts again.
