I use 2 different computers.
My laptop is used while traveling or working from home.
When I download mail to my laptop a copy is left on the server.
All mail is finally downloaded to my office desktop before deleted from the server.
Some times I need to download only one or two e-mails to respond or to get the attachmetns needed.
Is it possible to ad a coulumn to indicate which e-mails should be downloaded and then only download the selected e-mail?

I would like to be able to highlight a group of emails (those marked as spam) and sort by the subject line without this changing the sort options I already have set up to use when downloading email into MailWasher. This would make it far faster to find legitimate email that gets marked as spam and correct the processing settings beforehand to help prevent inadvertent blacklisting of good email.

Logntime user, since v2.
Be nice to have a way to LOCK a current black/whitelist item, so it doesnt inadverdantly get changed in its status, when Im scrolling thru hundreds (daily) of incomng spam email, that I have to dael with each day.

Sooner more than later, I inadvertanly change a current status of say *.gmail.com that is in the "FRIEND LIST", to blacklist, as I deal with hundreds of incoming spam, daily.

Thanks

Add an option to keep a copy of the emails on the server, and not recheck the reviewed emails the next time MailWasher is opened. (This option is available in Outlook Express)
It would be usefull when you want to store some emails on the email-server and you do not want them to be re-checked.

Thunderbird has a master password you enter after you teach it the passwords for all your e-mail accounts.

Mailwasher could really use one. I've grown tired of entering all my e-mail account passwords one by one each time I run it.

Thanks.

Fix the ongoing problem of the New Mail icon losing its ability to blink a warning that new mail has arrived. The only solution I've discovered has been to delete the training folder, which necessitates the inconvenience of complete retraining. This problem occurs every few months.

I need to be able to specify domains and senders (in separate lists) that would be protected from inadvertent blacklisting or automatic deletion. There have been many times where I have clicked on the wrong email and killed off the entire legitimate domain (i.e.: yahoo, msn, aol, hotmail, etc.) or a legitimate sender, and causing loss of legitimate emails for quite a while before discovering and correcting the error. The protected list would be a top level filter that would disallow simple right-click blacklisting or deletion on specified domains or senders. If I specified aol as a protected domain, I would not have the right-click option to kill it, but I might have the option to kill that sender email crap@aol.

Ability to modify an e-mail address so the <> characters (or whatever) can be removed and allow a message to be bounced

Whenever a message is marked as SPAM or suspected SPAM, remove from POP3 server and archive into a zip. The report would indicate where to find the SPAM archive and after 'x' number of days, the archive would be deleted.

I have used mailwasher pro since its inception. Over time some emails have developed "immunity". I mark them for deletion, but they get thru anyway. Can that be helped?

As non-default accounts are checked just because they have an entry left on the grid even if you have the set to not be checked by default, requiring a manula clear grid after you have manually checked a non-default account and some emails have been added to the grid.

Can I request an option to clear the grid (without prompt) when I click on the start email program icon, I have MWPB minimized whrn this icon is clicked but as doing this implies that I have full finished with MWPB then this will stop me having to remember to clear the grid before opening my mail client.

Also the option to have the grid cleared when MWPB "X" it pressed would be a useful option too.

I think it would be handy to have a Mailwasher add on for Firefox. A small icon on the status bar informing how many new emails have been received.

I suggest a check box that would allow the user to leave an email on the server until a later time when d/l a large file is easier. For instance, if I am traveling and using my laptop, I may not want to download a large file or attachment. I might want to wait until I return to the office where I have faster speed.

Sometimes we are in the middle of an extended download or other operation, and have to terminate MW to allow exclusive access to the system resources or net line. It would be easier if there were a toolbar button that would simply allow me to suspend the auto-checking of new emails, without piling up error messages due to being unable to make the connection.

I previously suggested a filter option of protecting specified domains or senders from being blacklisted or deleted.

This suggestion is different. I would like to be able to have a filter option that would automatically delete and/or bounce emails from specified domains or senders without further review, and possibly without the option of saving them in the recycle bin.

This list would require manual entry into the list, and would be a top-level filter for those extreme cases of email harrassment or bombing from a specified sender.

MSN offers such an option, where a specified sender's emails simply disappear without notice. MW should do the same.

Many spammers bypass filters by changing their emails or forging a new one everyday... but still use the same name or subject.

MW should have a sender name blacklist so we can zap out those pesky emails from Robert Allen or some of those inkjet refillers like Simply Ink.

MW should have a subject line keyword blacklist so we can zap out those emails with specified words in the subject line, like drugs, pharma*, viagra, cialis, levitra, real estate, get rich quick. The blacklist should allow wildcarding by using the asterisk, just as is done in searching for an item on ebay.

Mailwasher available for portable devices (symbian, iphone, microsoft mobile, etc.)

I was happy until I moved Office XP to Vista. Vista will not allow Outlook XP/2003 to save passwords to the registry, and we will not upgrade to Office 2007 because it is a pathetic resource hog and has more pretties but much less capability for professionals who have to wrote code to supports company apps used within it. So we stay with Office XP. However, I have to lanch a 3rd party utility (Hot Key) so that it will automatically insert passwords for Outlook as needed when it is lauched through the 3rd party batch. But Mailwasher will only launch the default mail program, not allowing me to specify my batch. I realize this is a narrow user base, but having been a software enginneer since 1978, I would not have seen such changes as difficult in any of the many apps that I have developed. Thanks for a great product. It has already stopped a number of emailed viruses from chewing our systems.

By installation my Anti Virus en -Mal program detects MALWARE in the Update of Mailwasher?
In my opinion that's not what the users expect.
Why?

Greetings, BC. van Lelyveld

Maybe this is the same as "To remember the already checked emails and not re-download them the next time", but it's not uncommon for me to wash a batch of mail from my laptop and have a few that I want to download right away and others that I want to download to another pc. If the default was something like "Release" and I had the option to mark selected messages as "Hold" I could get and act on the ones I want to and download the others later without having to download them immediately and then forward them to myself for later downloading on the pc. Maybe the POP3 limitations mentioned in the other suggestion would prevent this, but it sure would be handy.

How about a version of MailWasher for Android? There is about to be a flood of Android based phones on the market, and one applet would more than likely work across all of them.

I use Thunderbird for my e-mail client, and MailWasher Pro will start it either after "Wash Mail" or hitting the "Thunderbird" button at the top of the page. However, when I've hit the Quick Reply tab at the bottom, it tries to start MS Outlook, which I do not have configured and refuse to use. My suggestion is to have the Quick Reply button start the same e-mail client that appears on the button at the top.

Thanks for your attention. MailWasher is a great product. Keep up the good work.

I noticed that when I restart my computer/MaiwasherPro, and then go to Spam Tools, each time I restart I have to check off in the Spam Reporting Area, the Add Services, I have to check off Spam Cop and US Federal Trade Commission, or otherwise it will not report to either of these two Service. I also noticed that there is no "Save" button to click to ensure that the tow checked boxes are saved.

Add an optional vertical column beside delete that allows you to select an individual sender to automatically block and delete an individual sender. Day after day I keep getting spam from the same senders. It's very time consuming to keep going in and deleting these emails several times each day. mailwasher identifies them, but you still have to go through each to make sure that it's correct and you don't want to turn on the global auto delete function as it catches some good emails too whichd ned correct with that mode. You might consider also having the option of automatically bouncing these specifically identified senders.

I've used your product since it's inception and wouldn't be without it. Both it and the service are outstanding.

Please add the ability to create filters with a "wild card" domain name search based on the number of letters that follow the last "dot" in the address. Here in the United States the vast majority of spam emails that I get come from domains outside of the US that all end in a two letter domain, like ".cn" or ".bz", or ".ro" ect. . . . I would like to create a filter that would bounce/delete all emails that come from addresses that end in a "dot two letter" ending. This would eliminate the vast majority of the spam I get.

I would like to be able to include multiple spam words, for example, "lottery", "Viagra" and all the sex type words you get into a single filter rather than have to create a filter for each individual term. This would save a lot of time.

The time necessary to complete a "wash" i.e. deleting mail is extremly slow. Can this be improved?

Previous versions of Mailwasher allowed custom filters with an auto-delete function when an email matched that filter. This is needed in 2010 version.

I'd like to be able to change font size.

Thanks.

I woul like to control the size og fonts of the mail box. Th default are so small the i will probobly need to change my eye glaces to read the listes.

The default font is too smaul and there ins only two fonts for choices.
It must be a way to recover all window fonts and controling routine as it possible for other ptograms. I could not find anway to changes the fonts.
It seems that the probleme was also présent in the old version.

This option would be a good thing for the users spacially those with bad vision.

Thank you

A user will know where each icons is after using MailWasher just once.

What does change, each and every time a user runs MailWasher -- and what
always remains the focus of the users' attention -- are the e-mail contents that
the user opens MailWasher to see, on-screen.

Please give users the opportunity to devote their screen resources to the e-mail --
to the subject matter -- rather than to the icons. Or instead offer users the option
of 'large' or 'small' icons, and even 'no' icons (text only).

(And thank you for allowing users to suggest features. *This* is a great feature)

I use Mailwasher on my netbook. The top row or ribbon of buttons takes up a lot of screen real estate. I haven't found any means for adjusting the size of the ribbon or to even turn the ribbon off which would allow me to see more of my inbox items.

Make the ribbon scalable in size to the suit the screen space available.

Give the use the option to remove the ribbon altogether and call it back up with a single click.

Thanks!!!

Improve readability at 1024 x 768.

I find the type size too small, with a lot of waster space on each page.

Text highlighted against a deeply coloured background is difficult to read

I bought V2010 but went back to Mailwasher Pro for I c'nt in sort on date in V2010 without an other grouping.

Would it be possible to bounce individual emails from the main list of downloaded email? I get hundreds of junk - spam emails every day. I just delete them, but it would be nice to bounce the most persistent ones.

Maybe include a one click redirect to spam@uce.gov...

Previous Mailwasher programs has an auto bounce ability but I have not located any similar ability with Pro10. If this is available how do I enable the blacklist and vounce list?

I'd like to see the 'Good' + 'Bad' mail alternatives supplemented with a 'Take care' [Caution] mail option.

Most users of Mailwasher would have senders of mail which, every now and again, send worthwhile mail, but which for the most part, are of the spam variety. Typically, one finds this with the regular mail-outs by reputable software houses, book retailers, and so forth.

If I am looking at a Mailwasher display, I want to be readily able to visually identify those incoming emails that can not automatically be accorded a classification, but indeed, require my careful attention.

I should like to be able to right click the display line of incoming mail to classify future mail from that sender / source 'treat with caution', and the associated ability for the future display lines disclosing such 'take care' emails to automatically be coloured a cautionary 'mid-yellow'.

This would leave my 'good items' of mail 'green-coloured', the spam and other filtered-out items 'reddish coloured', and the line items that require closer inspection being clearly and conveniently distinguished. Where any sender has been classified as a 'take care' sender, each time there is new incoming mail from that source the Mailwasher user can quickly decide whether or not (on that particular occasion) to delete or accept those individual 'take care' items, depending on the perceived 'acceptable' or 'unacceptable' nature of that incoming mail.

One of the difficulties when you have a large number of emails and/or a large number of accounts is getting part way through a review and having a refresh that adds in emails in several different places in your list (i.e. when the list is not sorted by time/date).

Have an option to delay the display of the latest new emails until the existing list had been washed. Then allow the ability to view each download group (grouped by time/date) and to work on those in isolation. This could be displayed as a line in the list pane with download date and time and the number of emails in that group. Obviously if the emails where downloaded by your email software and a group no longer had any emails in it then this group would automatically be removed on refresh.

Cheers,

Nigel

Friends List and Blacklist - What ever happen to the "Sort email by domain" button in the List options?
It would be nice if you bring it back, specially for those long lists!!!

One of my favorite things about Outlook is the ability to delete the new email from the notification notice. Is there any way that you can set up Mailwasher Pro to do this? It would save opening multiple windows and lots of time in the long run!

I have a problem receiving e-mail that doesn't have my e-mail address on it. The subject and from address changes each time so trying to block them doesn't work. It would be great to have a program that allows me to block IP addresses. I feel I would have far more luck blocking unwanted e-mail with this as an option. Add this and I will buy MailWasherPro. I don't understand why it's not already included on all e-mail spam software.

The older MW 6.5.4 has a easy to reach button to download the complete email but MWP 2011 seems to have dropped this convience?

Can this button please be added next to the 'Reply' & 'Forward' buttons in the Preview ribbon?

I find that 50 lines of downloaded email tends to be enough to render a preview and take action. Every day though, there's generally 1 or 2 pesky HTML emails that need 150-200 lines to get any sort of preview. For those emails, the preview pane is totally empty or shows useless styling code. Plus, the scroll down arrow in the preview generally doesn't work either which would otherwise trigger more email preview download.

Sure I could set the 50 line threshold higher but why waste bandwith if not needed?

MWP 2011 does have a 'Download All' option under 'Email' tab in the top right toolbar but a button would be easier :o) Alternately perhaps a "Download More" would be just as dinky eg: click to show another 100 lines; click again for 100 more etc.
Cheers,
Dennis

I'd like to be able to shift-click multiple emails for deletion, instead of clicking on each email individually.

Is there a setting to reject everything this is not "friend"? I would prefer to do this. I am seeing too much leak through that shouldn't and believe this will solve the problem.

once an email address is bounced it continues to be bounced until the user stops it

I have learned that my MadisonCounty.net e-mail address does an excellent job of screening spam, viruses, etc., but Yahoo is terrible. You should make Mailwasher workable on Yahoo e-mail.

In previous versions of mailwasher, one only had to look at the preview to see that a link pretending to send the reader to abc-bank.com actually redirects to xyz@dodgy.com. Now, to have the preview permanently set to "view source" makes things more difficult for the reader, as one has to wade through all the technical text to get to the relevant bit. Now it's a chore! Please put it back to how it was before.

I know this could happen -earlier versions of McAfee anti-spam were able to do so. Can you consider adding the News protocol/ports to your
Anti-Spam or making a separate application to filter usenet news groups messages by their headers (subject).
