Mailwasher Free

maryfrench

Hi can anyone recommend paying for Mailwasher Pro instead of using the free version. The reason is that it finds about 30 new spam emails each day. It so far has caught thousands of spam since I first installed it a couple of years ago. I would prefer it to just get rid of them instead of having to look through them first.
Do you think it would be a benefit or not.
Thanks for any answer.

I have used the Pro version for about 6 years, but it is the only version I have ever used so I can't really compare it.
With my Pro version all the spam is marked and I just have to press one button to send it back and delete it.
If your version requires you to check the spam mails and read and delete individually, then you might prefer the Pro version

Thanks for your reply I will think about it.

I used to use Mailwasher but don't any more. The reason is that I switched to Googlemail and it has such a brilliant in-built spam filter that I hardly get any spam now.

Marty999 can you still use Outlook express with Googlemail.

I'll answer, Yes.
Settings available HERE

Also +1 for the excellent Googlemail spamfilter.

Thankyou spud17, should I uninstal Mailwasher first before I install Googlemail.

I'll answer this one then - no you don't need to uninstall Mailwasher. And you don't actually install Googlemail - you can either log on through the web interface, or you can set your Outlook account up to send and receive mail via Googlemail.

I find forwarding all my email to gmail filters most of the spam there, any that goes through gets put into spam folder with thnuderbird and spam4thunderbird addon

gmail has got some good spam filters I find most get stopped. I used mailwasher for many years but I am finding the other methods just as good
