Very slow Pop3 Service - Microsoft Exchange

Have you tried restarting the POP3 service? Or the IISAdmin service?

Hi Jim,
yes we restarted the service many times. And also the IISAdmin service.
And the server itself too... but the problem is still there.

Well, next we get to the "reboot" and "update" answers. Are you running the
latest SP for Exchange? E2K3 or E2K? I have not heard of this problem, but
there are a number of different places that it could be caused including the
POP3 service, the IISAdmin service, the ExIPC layer, or the information
store.
