IMAP stops working after unexpected shutdown of Exchange

Problem Description : 

IMAP connection for Helpstar stops working after unexpected shutdown of Exchange server

 

 

 Resolution : 

 

The IMAP server component maybe in an inactive state...

 

Open Exchange Management Shell on CAS1

 

Run command...

 

Get-ServerComponentState -Identity cas1

 

If you see the ImapProxy component in an 'Inactive' state when run the command below to re-activate.

 

Set-ServerComponentState -Identity cas1 -Component ImapProxy -State Active -Requester HealthAPI

 

Helpstar email should now start working again after a minute or two.

 

 

.....

 

If the Component state is active for ImapProxy on CAS1 then you may want to also check on mbx1 by running...

 

Get-ServerComponentState -Identity mbx1

 

If ImapProxy is inactive then run the set command with the -identity mbx1 to activate.
