Case in point. I've been "checking" my email this morning -- hitting "refresh" every little while. After a bit I"m surprised that I haven't gotten *ANY* messages recently. So I send myself a message, wait a few seconds and refresh again. *nine* messages come in the times on them: 9:56, 10:27, 10:33, 10:34, 10:38, 10:41, 10:45, 10:48 and 11:01. I sent the test message to myself at around 11, and I had refreshed right before that. So the eight messages were sitting in my inbox for [at least] a half hour with Aqua not being able to see them... it was only when I sent a message that the pipe was "unblocked".
