Modern hard drives feature an ability to recover from some read/write errors by internally remapping sectors and performing other forms of self-test and recovery. The process for this can sometimes take several seconds or (under heavy usage) minutes, during which time the drive is unresponsive.
If your contacts are getting emails you didn't send, your sent folder is full of messages you didn't send, or you're missing folders, it could be a sign that your account has been compromised or hacked. If you notice these signs, you may also end up having problems with sending or composing mail.
