I want download mail from isp more frequently than 15 minutes.
How can i start download mail from pop3 connector with command line or a script scheduled?

Thanks!!

Hi, you need to add a line to the registry to add a multiplier that will effectively decrease the actual value entered.

I have one client with this change with no issues. Note you should be on a fast link that will not exceed the next polling time as this can cause issues if there is overlap (yes MS cant write basic software to see if a download is already taking place).


Use Registry Editor at your own risk.


1. Click "Start", click "Run", type "regedit" (without the quotation
marks) in the "Open" box, and then click "OK".

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) as the entry
name, and then press ENTER.

5. On the "Edit" menu, click "Modify".

6. In the "Value data" box, type the value that you want, and then click
"OK". To determine the polling interval, the value that is configured on
the "Scheduling" tab in the GUI is divided by the value that you type forthe 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 ever five minutes.
