Here's the registry hack. I've got several clients that have been using it
for more than a year without incident. The rap against faster-than-15-minute
intervalse is that if a previous download isn't completed and a new download
starts (i.e., if you were downloading every five minutes and a particular
download took MORE than five minutes so that a new download started WHILE
the old download was still going), you'd abort the original download. That
may have been a problem when downloading over dialup, but with conventional
email at broadband speeds, it's just not an issue. If your client is
regularly downloading lots of email with huge attachments, than you SHOULD
go to SMTP. One of my clients is a builder, and they're always emailing
digitized plans and blueprints back and forth, so POP3 is unworkable for
them. Other than that, use the hack. It's easy and effective.
1) Set the polling interval to 15 minutes.
2) Locate and then click the following registry subkey:
"HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\SmallBusinessServer\Network\POP3
Connector"
3. On the "Edit" menu, point to "New", and then click "DWORD Value".
4. Type "ScheduleAccelerator" (without the quotation marks; no space between
words) as the entry
name, and then press ENTER.
5. On the "Edit" menu, click "Modify".
To determine the polling interval, the value that is configured on the
"Scheduling" tab in the GUI (i.e. 15 minutes) is divided by the value that
you type for the ScheduleAccelerator entry. For example, if a 15 minute
interval is specified in the GUI and you set the value of the
ScheduleAccelerator entry to 3, the connector will poll every 5 minutes. Set
the value to 2 and it will poll every 7.5 minutes. Set the value to 5 and it
will poll every 3 minutes. I've never gone higher then 3. No one's
complained that every 5 minutes is too slow. If they did, I'd move them to
SMTP.
6. In the "Value data" box, type the value that you want, and then click
"OK." No need to reboot. Just stop and restart the POP3 Connector service.
Going to SMTP isn't that big a deal, but I don't believe the argument for
SMTP is all that convincing. It certainly has its good points, but there are
real advantages to POP3 downloading. One disadvantage is that SMTP opens you
up to SPAM and viri that ISPs often filter for you.

dit werkt prima
ik heb hem op 3 min afgesteld, zodat de server de kans heeft om grotere bijlages binnen te halen, en dat er niet al teveel hinder wordt veroorzaakt.
