I am not able to write any emails from my account. When I try to write an email, I receive an error msg of 'not responding.' When I watch the 'bar' at the bottom of the screen, first it will say something like 'downloading 27 of 174 in trash'...then it goes to 'downloading 33 of 43 in Sent folder'...then 10 of 13 in Inbox. This just goes on and on and on even though the emails have been read and are days old.

Tried to see where others might be having this problem, but couldn't locate anything. I hope someone can chime in here with some assitance...Thanks.
