If you can access your mailbox via webmail, and have cleared it, but still cannot receive mail 'normally' suggests a problem with your end???

Confirm what Zeph said, the cache used is irrelevant to email, however a firewall setting might block the pop server???

- not sure why you are pinging the smtp server when receive is the problem, and it is likely set to prioritise 'real' traffic over a ping, anyway, hence the packet loss.
