Are these spam messages? Can you receive regular mail? Send a test to
yourself and see what happens. Irregardless, do the following for starters.

Tools | Accounts | Mail | Properties | Advanced - Uncheck: Leave a copy of
messages on the server.

Turn off e-mail scanning in your anti-virus program. It is a redundant layer
of protection that eats up CPUs, slows down sending and receiving, and
causes a multitude of problems such as time-outs, account setting changes
and has even been responsible for lose of messages. Your up-to-date A/V
program will continue to protect you sufficiently. For more, see:
