Hello,
I am having trouble finding the size limit configuration location for the POP3 connector on SBS 2011. I have a customer who is unable to receive email's larger than 20MB through the POP3 connector. All other messages are delivered as expected. I have followed this article http://exchangepedia.com/2007/09/exchange-server-2007-setting-message-size-limits.html in order to increase the size limits on the TransportConfig, Connectors, and Mailbox for this particular user, but I am still unable to retrieve these messages. I have increased to 50MB and the email messages have attachments totally aprox. 20MB.
Here's the error I see in the pop3service.log.

[t 0] 11/14/11, 11:30:37: EVENT: One or more messages (4) were left in the 'emailalias' account on the POP3 server 'pop.domain.ext' because they are larger than the maximum acceptable message size (the largest message is 21643551 bytes). You can either connect
to the POP3 account and retrieve or delete the messages manually, or increase the maximum acceptable message size in Exchange Server.
I assume that I need to raise the size limit on the POP3 connector as well?
Thx!
