found the needle and it was a corrupt mailbox of some sort. Apparently, the 
customer checks it from 4 computers and a mobile phone. Not sure how we keep 
this kind of thing happening in the future. PITA to resolve.

  I have seen this happen before when there were one or more corrupted 
mailboxes.




  I have also seen this happen when a group of outlook users set their 
mail-check rate too fast (once per minute as I recall).




  Upon restarting the pop3 service, monitor task manager and tail the pop3 log. 
This will help you to associate the troublesome activity with the accounts 
involved.




  Hope this helps,

        Recently we're having to restart pop3 almost daily and it's 
continuously using 50% of the cpu. Nothing really looks out of the ordinary but 
obviously something is wrong. Any ideas?
