Mailwasher could refuse to connect if your email client is opened in background.
No trouble to me, use the commom configuration of Mailwasher and everything works fine  ::)

Same for me, Technical ... never a problem with Mailwasher. I had MailWasher before having avast, so, I am not sure why ctb is having a problem. I have even used Mailwasher with my email client (Earthlink) open.    :)  I do this after reading much email to see if new email is now on the server.

ctb ... have you tried un-installing and re-installing MailWasher?

I also use mailwasher pro. It was installed prior to avast.  have absolutely no problems with mailwasher.  
Try uninstalling avast, re-install Mailwasher  and the install Avast.

Hope that helps

Thanks for the replies I may have solved the problem time will tell .When Avast first inastalled it changed my pop address in mailwasher to the default proxy for Avast to check mail ,Zonealram firewall saw this change of privelage and stopped mailwasher access I guess. Even after a new install of mailwasher ZA refused access to the net. I therefore uninstalled mailwasher and removed its entry in ZA. reinstalled Mailwasher & ZA saw it as a new app asked for rights to access the net & bingo got access!

It as failed once since but on the next boot up was ok? so time will tell  :)
