Mail won't download to spamwasher

All of a sudden, I seem to get a message saying spamwasher has encountered a problem and my mail doesn't go into spamwasher. First it was a time-out problem. I increased the time in "Tools" but now I just get an error message and no mail.

Please email me back at the office as I can't get email through my home address. (office address is carol.laudicina@co.manatee.fl.us)

Thank yu.
