When it halts on the third message, do the first two messages download okay?
Does it download those first two messages over and over? If so, there is a
stuck message on the mail server. If you have webmail access, inspect the
messages sitting on the server to see if you can spot the bad one. It will
typically be the oldest and/or biggest one. Delete it.
If you don't have webmail access, you can use
http://mail2web.com.
