About three weeks ago, on my most heavily used email account (it has around 75,000 emails in it and gets around 200 emails each day), I was only able to download 4 emails at a time. Then it would stop. I would click "Get Mail" and it would download the next 4 emails. I'd click "Get Mail" etc etc until all emails were downloaded.

I tried to find a solution, but couldn't, so I just put up with it (it was really only a pain in the butt first thing in the morning).

Then, this morning - disaster! My main account only downloads one email at a time! It shows "55 of 55 Incoming messages", then next time "55 of 55 incoming messages" etc. A new one must have arrived because now it is showing "56 out of 56" (but I still have 6 hours of emails to download).

Important info:

Email is hosted by gmail.
Account is setup as a POP account.
This issue is not affecting other staff on a mac, using same domain for email.
This issue is not affecting other gmail and non-gmail accounts I have (including email accounts on the same domain).
Mail version is 4.3
OS is 10.6.4
Hard drive has 83GB available
There are 20 unread emails sitting in my Gmail account waiting to be downloaded. So I can login to Gmail webmail and see all the emails there.

All suggestions are very welcome! This is really pis*ing me off!
