There is a registry hack but everything I have heard says not to do it because it causes other problems. Unfortunately, Microsoft thinks this is a good idea. There are alternative POP3 collectors available but none of them are free. :-(
There is a PERL script that is free that you can use but it requires that you install PERL, which is also free.

You'd be better off rethinking the mail delivery. Is there an absolute need to keep using an outdated, bandwidth hogging feature like a POP3 connector?
josephdavis is correct - other third party solutions would do the job better. The one I have used a lot is the one included in GFI's Mail Essentials. That connector let's you set intervals as low as 1 minute. But that's still 59 seconds longer than if you just had mail delivered directly to your server (and uses much less bandwidth, too). Less administration as well.

Trust me... I know... My clinet is the type that thinks he knows everything and never listens to what i say. I have been trying to convence them to open their server to accept emails but he wont let me.
They have each workstation set up to download the mail via pop and then put it on the server. They ahve two black berrys and the BES server does not sync right away b/c it takes some time for the mail to go from the workstation to the server.
They are using their sbs as their smtp server and they get the emails 123 on the black berrys

A decent pop3 connector is available for free here as long as you only have to accept mail for one domain name.
