Not in WM, but using other email programs, I've had email stuck on the
server, which prevented me from downloading any messages.
In those cases, I've been able to log into my mail via the web access my ISP
provides, or by using a free email site, like
http://www.e-mailanywhere.com/
and delete the offending email (usually spam).
