Mail goes into outlook before I click send/receive. Why?

I am running windows xp and office 2003. My problem is I
am using mailwasher pro to sift out spam first, so I have
auto send/receive switched off in outlook, but sometimes
I find I have mail waiting in my inbox before I have
clicked send/receive in outlook. I also sometimes find
some of the spam in my deleted items folder in outlook,
when I was under the impression it should be deleted off
the server by mailwasher. Why is this happening and can
I stop it? Thanks in advance.

What happens if you disable MailWasher?

Ok I disabled mailwasher and sent myself a test mail. I
had to click send/receive and got it imported right away
off the server. So how do I get it to stop letting the
mail in with out clicking send/receive with mailwasher on
as obviously I want to use mailwasher. I am using
mailwasher pro btw. Thanks in advance.

Well I turned off mailwasher, and sent myself a test
mail, which I didnt get in my inbox in outlook till I
clicked send/receive. But how do I stop it importing mail
till I click send/receive with mail washer running.
All auto matic mail checking has been disabled in outlook
as per the rules of using mailwasher pro.

Did you disable ALL automatic Send/Receives in Outlook Express and
enable them in MailWasher? If MailWasher is set to do checking for new
messages, Outlook Express doesn't need to.

Yes I have all automatic send/receives disabled to my
knowledge. I have been through all options several times,
so unless there are any hidden settings I think I have it
covered, and mailwasher is set to check for mail every 5
mins.
