I had -2- POP accounts (GMail and my local home ISP) where downloads were hanging. The Activity window would show "checking message xx of yy" and stay on 'message 18 of 70' forever.
The fix was to quit Mail.app and then trash ~/Library/Mail/Mail Lost & Found and ~/Library/Mail/V2/MailData/MessageUidsAlreadyDownloaded* (3 such files for my 3 POP accounts).
The next time Mail launched, it recreated these AlreadyDownloaded databases. If Mail.app downloaded duplicate messages, it didn't -show them to me-, which is progress. (I've had significant problems with earlier versions of Mail.app downloading and displaying duplicate messages. My mailboxes may still contain duplicates, but at least they're hidden.)
