We're seriously considering making a Mailwasher email client, because it's almost one anyway. Sounds like you're also talking about a hosted antispam solution which we're looking at too.

I wouldn't be interested in a Mailwasher email client, because we're too locked in to Outlook. (We use a number of add-in products to work with our business processes. Of course, if you built all those in too... LOL.)

Now... having MailWasher as an Outlook plug-in... that would be pretty cool. I'll open a Suggestion on that. ;-)

I am not too keen on this as it would have to be in addition to what we have now.

It may well be almost one at the moment, but that is still a long way off what is presently available. I am talking about folder/account/addressbook templates, rendering of text and images, HTML, etc.

What might be a much better proposition as Kurtgs has suggested is a plugin for Outlook and Windows Live Mail/Outlook Express.

One of the issues in getting a new user to use MW is that they have to use two applications. New users are just about familiar with double-clicking an icon to get their e-mail client (and try and tell them what a client means) going. Once they are used to that, try and tell them that they now need to run a pre-processor program called Mailwasher and watch the blood drain away from their face.

I have a friend who just got used to running Mailwasher (got it for him in the Christmas promotion) and then to get it to start Outlook Express and have to manually get it to check for messages. Then he bought a new notebook that came with Vista, and he has to learn a new interface where he has to start Windows Live Mail as it replaces OE.

A plugin would be so much better if all the user had to do was install it and then run just their e-mail client. The plugin would then check for messages and present them in the way MW does at the moment. The user decides what to do with each message, and on process the selected mail is collected.

I know that OE/WLM and Outlook are by far the majority, but it would be good for other e-mail clients that allow for plugins as well.

I find most of the "email clients" very over done and as far as Outlook goes ?? Nah, I'll give that a miss. Thunderbird is good but still quite "boggy" in some areas. Nice bunch of addons but that doesn't improve operation and detail. You are so close already. Just a bit of a nudge and you're THERE !!... Oh, try to make it portable, or at least the Mail Boxes.... like to old Outlook Express that you could stick them on a flash drive and pop them into you laptop for a couple of weeks while you were "on the road".

Main thing should be that the mail should be portable.
Mailwasher on a USB stick. And definitely not locked into a format like outlook PST etc... 1. You should be able to create your own folder structure on your drive. 2. you should have a choice what format you want the mail stored as... ie. html, text rich text - even open office formats. 3. attachments are stored in their original format.when downloaded they are automatically have a text copy of the email with the same name as the attachment . or some other smart system that doe's not lock you into the program clients format.

Hi, I have ask it a lot of time, and I never have answer : can you install the possibilty to use a password at the opening ?
Bonjour, j'ai posé la question à plusieurs reprises, sans obtenir la moindre réponse ! Pouvez-vous ajouter la possibilité de mettre un mot de passe à l'ouverture du programme ? J'utilise mailwasher à mon bureau, avec des adresses mails du travail et des personnels. Je voudrais un mot de passe pour que l'on ne puisse utiliser le programme sans mot de passe.
Merci

I like the idea of an embedded 'Mailwasher Email', but I doubt that I would use it simply because only one email program, Everdesk Optima, does what I want - that is to save my emails as individual files within the My Documents folder structure and not in a separate email database. It's the only way to work - keeps my emails in the same place as the documents/pix/notes etc. for any correspondent or subject.
So if you're considering embedding an email program, please consider structuring it that way :-)

I'd love to see a Mailwasher or Firetrust email client. I've used Eudora for years and years...and now it's no longer supported. The port to open source is nothing more than Thunderbird with Eudora's speedbutton glyphs. It sux big time.

I'd be willing to pay a reasonable price for a good email program, preferably one with an MDI format. That's one of the things I dislike about OE and TBird. The SDI style isn't nearly as tidy as Eudora's.

I also like the idea of individual files as opposed to one big file for each mailbox or the whole mess. It's much less vulnerable to file corruption.

I've used Mailwasher since the original beta version. It just keeps getting better and better....so the addition of an optional email client would make it darned near perfect. :)

I think this is a grand idea. Make it portable for Laptop or at least the mail folders easily moved.
Much the same as Out look express. What a great feature to just pick up your all your emails
on a speed disc and take it with you. Of course you'd have a working copy of Mailwasher Email
on your laptop, why on earth not ??

OOPS try again : }

Anything that removes all the bad features of OE and its new substitute would be very very welcome
Also must have is ability store & archive emails with attachements not in micro$oft dbx/pst etc format
would be great help.

Nice easy GUi good folder management ..no garish eye candy clunky gui etc etc ..just good sensible stuff like MWpro
You might fulfill a lot of people's dreams...for perfect email client .. sigh

You know, this and many other things have been stated as being 'good ideas' and 'could well be in a future issue', many including b9 directly into an actual Firetrust Email Client that does it all, over the years I've been associated with MailWasher (which are considerable), but none have come to fruition...

thx,

As a non-business Windows 7 user who doesn't use or need MS Office (OpenOffice ftw) I like the idea, as long as the email client is a good one. A mix of the good features of Thunderbird, Outlook and Outlook Express would be very cool.
Yeah I know, everyone's idea of 'good features' is different...

First of all, thanks for the great product. Second, I have to say that it is not that easy to create a new email client which will have to compete with a lot of established names in this business. I spent quite some time working with almost every email application on the market and finally have to say that nothing compares with EverDesk. I use it for few years and as a long-time user of EverDesk Optima, I find its Preview Mail on the server feature very useful and easy to use. At the same time I like the way MW handles spam. I think that if you guys work with EverDesk so that their Preview Mail feature would be actually your MW screen (which looks very much alike and all MW functionality is pefect fit for them) then you have a win-win situation for both products. You could bundle your free MW with EverDesk and this would make a great promotion channel for MW Pro to EverDesk users who want extra functionality and convenience.

I would consider stopping to use Mailwasher if it were to become an email client. I use Thunderbird and access a wide range of email accounts, including my own mail server, but also Hotmail, Gmail and Yahoo. I also filter mail for other members in my household, who use other email clients. So the email client part is dealt with. I went with Mailwasher in the first place because it didn't look like an email client, but a mail filter that works independently from a client, which suits me fine. I also think that it did become an email client, it is basically competing with the standard filter options that many email clients already have. I am not looking for a email client with good filtering, I want to not have the mail reach the clients, period.

Hi ,Definitely not .Our ISP's run SpamCop and others which results in our having e-mails deleted .No one should have the right
to tell anyone what is spam and what is not .Thats why we use mailwasher to give us the option .My ISP for example now ,
after a tremendous battle ,does no repeat no filtering on my e-mails .I use Mailwasher to filter and decide on my own mail .
