SYMPTOMS
========

Downloading headers and sending mail is successful. However, receiving mail
fails.

CAUSE
=====

Not being able to receive mail remotely may not always be a script issue. It is
possible that some corruption exists in INBOX.KEY or INBOX.MBG, the key and mbg
pair for the receiving mail process. They are located under the
\<win_root>\MSMAIL\MSRMT\KEY and \<win_root>\MSMAIL\MSRMT\MBG
directories, respectively.

RESOLUTION
==========

Reset the INBOX.KEY and INBOX.MBG by performing the steps listed in Q104279.

NOTE: Both downloading headers and sending mail have key and mbg pairs designated
for those processes, as well. If problems exist for those processes, resetting
their respective key and mbg pair can resolve those problems. The key and mbg
pair for downloading headers is POBOX.KEY and POBOX.MBG. And, the key and mbg
pair for sending mail is OUTBOX.KEY and OUTBOX.MBG.
