Ability to Filter By Date So Your Whole InBox Does Not Download

Clearly, You Don't need to see every single email in history (too time consuming and redundant) so logically if you can filter i.e. by date or even "not read" it would streamline you loading of an account.

Also a "unique" sender filter may expedite processing as well.

Good point. We'll be making the new version load your most recent emails first so this will help to begin with

I want this NOT for speed, but for filtering SPAM. Most days I get 2 or 3 messages from my email address (not me) with NO DATE. I sort by date, then classification, so this stuff ends up at the top and goes unseen. I would like to be able to create a filter that marks any email without a data as spam.

POP isn't designed to support leaving messages on the server long term, what some folks are finding works to get around this limitation in POP is to move older messages on the account to another folder so they aren't sent to MW over and over.

What would be nice is if MW would use the UIDs of the messages to identify ones you don't want to see again and skip downloading them like most e-mail clients do. That would take adding some options to MW to set how read messages were treated but it should be possible.
