Exchange 2003 POP Connector

[miniman]

We're running 2003 Small Business Server and want to collect mail from our US Exchange Server using a POP connector. Does anyone know how to get around the minimum tx/rx frequency of 15 minutes within Exchange's built in POP connector?

Or any better ways of doing it??

Hi - yes. I run an global exchange set up, with 8 exchanges globally.

Firstly:

Do you run a global active directory?

Uh, don't think so.

Basically the setup is one Exchange server in the US, pulling all mail. Second server in the UK, only 3 users currently on the UK server. We just need to get the mail from the 3 mailboxes in the US pulled over to the UK, but we need it more frequently than every 15 minutes.

You can't connect SBS exchange servers together IIRC.

Do you have a fixed line to the internet or is it dial-up?

Fixed line. One server is not SBS, it's full Exchange.

Hi - if you're the same oragisation, why don't you have the same domain?

Just get an encrypted VPN between sites, and replicate domain controllers. Then in Exchange, Active Directoy (with the help of a few routing group connectors) will do the rest.
