I'm using an imac intel 2 core 2 duo 2.4 Ghz running OS10.5.8.

I've been using mac mail for years and have only ever had a couple of minor problems with it. However yesterday, after using it normally, I went out, leaving the machine to sleep. When I came back my mail wouldn't download and it said there are 400 odd emails which is crazy.

I shut down mail and rebooted it a couple of times and although the number of 'new' messages is now only 170 odd, I can't get past the 10th email and the download speed goes to zero. Also I can't delete some existing messages in my inbox

I am able to use mail as normal on my home mac which uses mail with the same account settings as my office mac. I can also access my emails via my iPhone and webmail. Can anyone make any suggestions as to what is the problem and what I should do to fix it?
