outlook and express get jammed by spam

I use Outlook Express and often a bit of spam will 'block
the pipe' and prevent all mail behind it downloading. I
have tried message rules but they don't solve it. I run
McAfee anti-virus but that doesn't help, because Outlook
still tries to download the mail from the server. I have
contacted my mail providers, but all they can do is
delete the spam from the server each time it occurs, and
they're unable to do that at certain times - e.g.
weekends - and there must be another solution.

I might go for a day or two with mail downloading just
fine then a block will occur.

Any suggestions greatly received.

p.s. I have tried Eudora but the block occurred at the
same piece of mail - I have tried Mailwasher, that
blocked at the same place. I've tried old and up to date
versions of Outlook and Outlook Express, and tried from
different computers. If I use my work Mac it can download
the mail fine. It's a pain, because means that at
weekends I can't get mail on my PC and have to go into
work to download it.

How so? MailWasher just shows mail that is on your server. It downloads
nothing. If you delete the spam from the server with MailWasher before
downloading it into your Inbox, how can it "block up" your mail download?
