Gracie,
Do you periodically delete old messages? It is a pain on this site, as it appears you have to delete one by one, but in the past on other systems I have seen weird things happened when you exceed a limit, and since you post a lot, maybe you have exceeded some limit.

Now for a funny but very true story, in my previous life, the company I worked for used an IBM mainframe mail program called TOSS (Total Office Support System - I think), any way it has a limit of 1024 messages in any one users inbox, I innocently sent an email to a user that never deleted anything, it was the 1025th message, and the ENTIRE company TOSS system crashed... 2-3 hours later it came back, I resent the message, and crashed the system AGAIN!!!! The computer people came to my desk ready to hang me, but realized it was not my fault when they saw what I had done. His desk looked the same as the email in box, he never threw anything away.....
