When cleaning out mailboxes in preparation for a switch of ISP, I had
a similar problem which occurred now and then, typically in clumps.
The work-around I used was to use the webmail interface (on the
website of the ISP) to delete the offending messages; they are going
to be the oldest in the queue.  Typically, the offending messages are
spam which arrives more or less in clusters; so if you find something
queer in your inbox, search for similar messages and delete all you
can find in a single session.
