Mozilla 1.4 - Mail inbox processing??

I started having a problem with Mozilla 1.4 when trying to dowload and read my mail. It shows that it is connecting to the server but then stops - message box comes onscreen saying the folder is being processed - please wait. I have waited - 2 hours - still the same message. Running w2kP, p4-2.4, 512mpc1700,Intel board, 120g Maxtor(7parts). I tried a re-install overtop of existing but makes no difference. Have run up-to-date av/adware/spyware and all is clean. Any suggestions would be appreciated. Would like to read my e-mail before withdrawal sets in (smiles)

Suggestions appreciated.

A followup note to those who read the previous - my problem is now solved. ISP replied to my query and that is where the problem came from. It seems they have some type of av program they run on their servers. If a message with lots of symbols/garbage - read spam - in the header reaches it, it will sometimes jam or bog down and will not allow messages to be downloaded. They re-set the program / server and now all is working well. And to think I was almost into withdrawal....


Thanks again.
