My POP Connector on SBS 2008 it's having problems downloading mail. The Event viewer shows the Event ID 208 with the fallowing error.
"The TCP/IP connection with the 'localhost' server was terminated while trying to access the 'abc@abcmail.com' mailbox. The cause may be server problems, network problems, a long period of inactivity, a connection time limit, or incorrect connection settings."
This is happening with every single pop account but not all the mails (but most of them).
When I check the log i see this.

So as you can see there really seems to be a time out when it try to connect to the localhost. Any idea what could be cousing this?.
So far the only few things I tried have been recreate the pop accounts and reinstall the pop connector but none of those worked.
