The official answer about the 15 mins on the pop3 is no. Here is a link to bypass it.
The main reason to leave it at 15 minutes is to allow the server to download all the mail before it tries again to process downloading mail. If you have a high level of mail flow you may not want to lower it. If its just a few and not large attachments then you could do this. http://sbits.blogspot.com/2007/09/pop3-connector-downloadthread-less-tha n.html From: Joe Fox [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Tuesday, March 04, 2008 11:33 AM To: MS-Exchange Admin Issues Subject: Re: Questions regarding SBS2003 POP 3 connector. Graeme: You're in luck - I just finished setting up my POP3 connector this morning. Is the POP3 connector set up for Global Mailbox? If it isn't you need to set it up for Global Mailbox and make sure that you have Exchange Mailboxes for all the users. Example - I have a mailbox called [EMAIL PROTECTED] at my mail host. All "undeliverable" mail goes to that account. Then the POP3 connnector connects to that drop box, pulls in all the mail, and then looks at the To: and CC: fields to put it in the appropriate mailboxes on the SBS server. My problem with it not working, is that I spelled the POP3 account name wrong! DOH! On a similiar note - does anyone know if there is a way to change the POP3 Connector's schedule. As it stands, the shortest time between checks is 15 minutes, and I'd like to get it down to 5 minutes between checks. Can that be changed in the registry maybe? HTH.

All in all they have done a not too bad a job, but maid a bit of a boo boo with the e-mail setup. They currently have pop 3 of the following format [EMAIL PROTECTED], but are planning to move to an smtp feed with their own domain, i.e. [EMAIL PROTECTED] They ran the Internet wizard and setup the Exchange domain as domain.co.uk, with the AD domain as domain.local all well and good i hear you say. But of course when they configured the POP connector, it appears to initially have just vanished any incoming mail into thin air, and since yesterday after installing Exchange 2003 SP2, it now reposrts in the event viewer that any mail retrieved by the pop connector was not delivered to the mail box due to relay restrictions. Added domain.co.uk to the recipient policy and mail is working fine. The question of course is where did the mail that vanished go??? I am not familiar with the process of the pop3 connector, mainly with how it handles the mail flow. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
