Server with SBS 2003 retrive pop3 mail faster.
The minimum time you can schedule for retrieving Mails with the POP3 mail connector in SBS2003 is 15 min. Can I change this time, so my server retrieves POP3 mail every 3 minutes?

And if I want te set the time to 10 Min ? (like SBS2008)
You will need to use a 3rd party product like: http://www.mapilab.com/exchange/pop3_connector/
As Demazter pointed out, the pop3 connector is meant to be an interim stop-gap to ease migration pains for new installs. Although there are 3rd-party pop3 connectors that obviously don't make this claim, one of the reasons MS takes this view with *their* pop3 connector is because of significant limitations in the protocol itself. No connector, MS's or otherwise, can overcome these so I strongly discourage their long-term use.
As others have pointed out, this is not necessarily a good idea, but there is a registry hack which allows you to increase the polling frequency:http://www.jeremycole.com/ blog/2007/ 07/25/sbs2 003-exchan ge-pop3-co nnector-po lling-inte rval/Edited by demazter to remove plagiarised material.

Like I said, it's not necessarily a good idea, but it does answer the original question.

not completely solved
The POP3 connector is designed as an interim solution whilst you move to direct delivery via SMTP
