I am using Microsoft Exchange Server 2000 over dial up connection and all mails for my domain are queued on my ISP server now I want to retrieve these mails from ISP and then deliver to Exchange server in each recepient mailbox but my ISP does not support ETRN command so please tell me what tool should I use to retrieve the mail after every one hour.

You will have to contact your ISP to find out what the 'trigger' command is to retieve your mail is.  The last ISP that I was with where we had a SMTP gateway, generally started sending mail to us when we either connected or when we 'fingered' the SMTP gateway.

eg:

C:\>finger your.domain.name@your.smtp.gateway.hostname

is similar to what we had to do.  Check with their tech/support staff, they should be able to tell you how to trigger your mail, then just setup a task to be repeated on the hour (set it up on the mail server, so that it is only triggered when that server is online).

A software which is speacially designed for Exchage 2000 Server and Exchange 5.5 and that name is POPbeamber can be used to retrieve mail from POP3 server and then deliver it to Exchange Server please check it it is amazing.
Does this mean you have answered your own question?
Would have been nice if you'd have said that they were in a POP3 mailbox - you would have gotten a solution a lot faster :)

That is - if the mail is stuck in a POP3 server, rather than a SMTP proxy/gateway.
