Could be you have a corrupted message in your mailbox. Try using your
ISP's webmail interface to check your e-mails, deleting those you don't
want (or have huge attachments), and retrying the download to Outlook.

Could be McAfee's scanning of your inbound emails is hanging (or taking
so long for huge e-mails that it looks like it is hanging). Try
disabling its e-mail scan to see if the problem goes away.
