Email enabled public folder problem

Hi all,

I recently migrated my Exchange 2000 server to Exchange 2003 on a different machine. I moved all the mailboxes and public folders and all went fine. My only problem is that I have a public folder with an SMTP address and this folder doesn’t receive emails when I dismount the Public information store on the old Exchaneg 2000 server. As soon as I mount it back the mail gets delivered. So it gets to my Exchange 2003 but doesn’t deliver the message unless the old Exchange 2000 server Public folder store is online and then it delivers it.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks in advance !
