 * Hi there,
 * I have Postie installed on a WordPress blog that I’m hosting for a client.
    Due
   to some technical issues with Google I now have 70-80 emails that have “stacked
   up” in the posting queue. I managed to fix the Google-issues, but when I try 
   to manually process the emails the blog loads for quite a while before reaching
   a timeout.
 * Is there any other way for me to process the emails that are in the queue so 
   that the stacked up emails gets pushed out on the blog as posts?
 * I tried setting the amount of emails to be processed to 5 instead of “all”, but
   so far that has only caused the backend/Postie-settings-site to reload to an 
   empty page.
 * Sidenote: I tried processing the emails a few days ago, and to my surprise my
   website host thought this was some sort of spam and promptly blocked the domain.
   This has been taken care of and the site is back up and running, but just thought
   I’d mention it.

 * I’d try switching to 1 email at a time – remember to save your settings before
   trying to process your emails.
 * I suspect your host thought since you were connecting to a mail server that you
   were going to send mail, not receive it. Without more details about their reason
   I’m really just guessing. I haven’t heard of any other hosts doing this.
