How To Decrease POP3 Connector Polling Interval For Exchange

Have you ever wanted to decrease the New Mail Polling Interval for the POP3 connector in Exchange to something a bit smaller than 15 minutes?


Well here's how you can do it:
To set the polling interval so that polling occurs more frequently than every 15 minutes, you
must configure the ScheduleAccelerator registry entry.
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 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 ever five minutes.

7. Quit Registry Editor
