It should have nothing to do with number of games running. That will only affect the response speed, as more emails are received per minute and more turns need to be resolved.
Lch is right. There is a bug in various mail servers that if *all* mail is not downloaded, it resets the pointer from the server and reprocesses the same messages again and again. It can rather quickly consume bandwidth and diskspace.
