Sounds like you're not updating/removing items from the MessageBox
object, as I don't see where you are removing items from the list (I
see no calls to MessageBox.next() being made).
Alternatively, wouldn't the messaging system in the Authentication
framework fit your needs? Your implementation highly resembles it...
Hope it helps,
