Problems with MCxAP (moved from UKHA_D)

Hi all. I moved this over from UKHA_D....

I'm running a Windows MCE machine with the following xAP components:

- Hub service (default settings)
- Mail monitor service (configured to email address)
- New Mail OSD service (default settings)
- MCxAP

I'm also running a xAP Viewer on a different PC to pick up all the
messages flying around.

The problem is that everything works except for the MCxAP component -
it just doesn't appear in the Viewer tree at all.

It might be i'm doing something stupid, but i followed the
instructions and i'm after some suggestions!!!

k

PS. I turned off Windows firewall just in case.
