Im having a problem with incoming emails not coming through as of yesterday, I think its down to a mate sending too many what could be high capacity messages all at once, I get info on mail activity of 25 emails and 800 odd k/bs flashing up then nowt comes through.Any ideas to clear backlog please, on a mac if that makes any difference. Thanks

Large tin of prunes should do the trick lol

I've had this before where large emails don't download, cause a timeout and then send the process back to the beginning only to time out again, gets stuck in a loop.

I imagine its a pop3 based email account - 

if so the simplest way around it is to logon to via webmail
 - either via the portal provided by your isp/email provider or one from a service such as mail2web.com.

That should allow you to delete the large email's from your friend, which should clear the problem.

Seems ok now, switched on tonight and after a bit of coughing and spluttering it spewed out a mountain of messages. Thanks all.
