IMAP quickly downloads mostly of messages, but stalls at the last one

An ongoing problem. When I download IMAP emails using latest version of Apple Mail, it quickly zips through most of them, but stalls for ages at the last one.
e.g. if there are 30 emails, it zips through emails 1-29, but just sits there for the last one. The size of the email doesn't matter. It's always the last one that stalls for ages, maybe 10-15 minutes or longer.
Nowadays I let it run at night, and by morning everything is downloaded.
I'm using 10.5.6 but the problem was evident in earlier versions too.
Using Gmail IMAP. I access this Gmail account from several Mac computers, and the above problem only occurs on one of them. I've tried rebuilding the mailbox, but that does not solve the problem.
It's not the internet speed. I have high speed ADSL2. Internet works for everything else. Remember, the first lot of emails are downloaded very fast. It's always the last one that stalls, irrespective of how small or large that last email is.

p/s sometimes that last email can take what seems like hours. Hence, the need for me to run it at night to download overnight. Just for that last email.
