POP3 Connector Mail Download limit


If you have SBS and are getting the following errors.

Source: Windows Small Business Server 2008
Event ID: 210
Task Category: Windows SBS POP3 Connector
Description:
One or more messages (1) were left in the “” account on the POP3 server
“” because they are larger than the maximum acceptable
message size

You can increase the message size limit but I would strongly suggest you make sure you have the horsepower to do this or you WILL have performance issues trying to transfer large mail.

That being said, from the Exchange Powershell run the following

This command will display the current size

Get-ReceiveConnector | select identity, maxmessagesize

This will set the size to 50mb and the timout to 9 min.

Get-ReceiveConnector | Set-ReceiveConnector -MaxMessageSize 50mb -ConnectionInactivityTimeout 00:09:00

Then restart transport…

This will set all receive to 50 mb, use with caution!
