We have a web server (Server 2003 Standard) that is also running POP3 so we can use workflows in Sharepoint 2007. Whenever I reboot the server, POP3 does not start automatically. I have not found POP3 as a service under Administrative Tools > Service to configure as an automatic service. Also, under Administrative Tools > POP3 Service, there is no setting for automatic start.

How can I start POP3 to run automatically at startup?

I am having the same issue I have a Windows Server 2003 Fully up to date. Running Microsoft Exchange Server.
I have a POP3 Virtual Server I want to start on Reboot.
It doesn't. There is no event log for this.
I have the POP3 Service set to automatic and I have the Virtual Server started before I reboot. I have been told it is "sticky".

Any suggestions?

Here is how i did it.

All I did was add this command to autoexec.nt
net start pop3svc
After reboot the service started and so did the virtual server.
