If the Mail Server associated with this e-mail account is using the IMAP Protocol

Suggest Logging into the Web Portals of this Mail Server

Are the messages appear there also ?

If Yes and you what to Stop the constantly downloading, Remove them while in the Web Portal Site.

IMAP Protocol will reflect back to the Mail Application that which is appearing on the Mail Servers Site
