[X4U] Mail claims it is processing messages but nothing shows up in the inbox

[Crandon David]

When I used to be with Comcast, every once in a while I'd have a  
bunch of messages that would get "stuck" on the server and not get  
downloaded. Usually have something to do with a screwed up header.

Anyway, I'd just delete it through webmail and then all would be fine.
