When the new 2010 version was created we were told that Firetrust was going to give us back the ability to hide Emails from known SPAM and known Friends. This is how it was in the older version (6.5.4).
I set up the Accounts/Status configuration but it leaves me wanting. Every time a new Email arrives the application reopens to review all of the Emails again. I do not care to have to view all of my Emails this is what my Email program (Outlook) is for.
Once a sender is recognized as either a Friend or a SPAMmer I feel there is no need to ever see an Email from this sender in MailWasher.
