Hi:<br />

Glad you found an answer to your immediate problem, and happy that you shared it. <br />
<br />
But the real solution to pop3 issues where there is an exchange server is to use SMTP mail and stop using pop3.

Problem:<br />
For all email external to the SBS server, email delivery is delayed by 30-60 minutes. In todays world, people expect e-mail to arrived within a minute or so.<br />
<br />
Background information: I recently completed a SBS2003 to SBS2011. Since the migration, email delivery via the POP3 connector has been problematic. Email does get delivered into exchange mailboxes but it might take 30-60 minutes or so before it shows up.

The most notable inclusions are Exchange, SQL Server, SharePoint and ISA/TMG (Microsoft's firewall and proxy server).
