It was a major problem during the BigPond Email debacle of 2003. I've noticed it has happened a couple of times to me this past week or so (10.3.1 on G3 iBook 700Mhz).
I just close down the Mail app and relaunch and everything is hunky dory after that.

There was a utility fix for this eons ago but the later releases of Mail were supposed to have addressed this problem. However, it seems to have resurfaced and is so annoying I've diverted my Telstra mail to our zytech mailserver so Mail doesn't check the Bigpond server at all (which I know won't solve your problem). Anyone else?
