I'm running into an odd problem with Apple Mail.

I have a Microsoft Exchange account and only the Inbox refuses to update with new mail. If I send Mail the Sent mailbox updates (even if I do that from a different Mac) and that mail does get sent. But the Inbox is continually Downloading Messages, although nothing is downloading. If I quit Mail and reopen it the Inbox updates again for awhile, only to eventually stop again. I can put the account offline and then back online and it will also start updating for awhile.

Any ideas on how to fix this? By the way, using Get New Mail does nothing when it's stuck like this.
