mail washer opens - and (using without additional filters here, and with the
option to see all mail ) will list all the mail. Certain mail will be labeled
blacklisted and some will say possible black list and some won't say anything -
then there are your friends too. you add what you want to the blacklist. If
you're satisfied that nothing is checked as blacklisted that is a friend - or
visa versa, (you also have the choice to check off to bounce or to delete) If
you're checked to delete, you click on process mail. At this point, mail washer
deletes those files you chose to delete - (blacklisted items or any others you
may just not want to bring into your e-mail program). when you click on process
mail, after it deletes what you want, it automatically opens your e-mail
program. Once again - you can set your e-mail program to automatically bring in
mail when it opens, or for you to click send and receive to get your mail in.
that's pretty much it in a nutshell -

I used to use Mailwasher Pro, but took it off this computer some time
ago. I admit I get things mixed up sometimes as I test many, many
programs. I just recently went through 6-8 SPAM/Mail notification
programs so all seem to "blend" together. My memory is, though, that
Mailwasher Pro alows you a button to open your mail program. Most of
these programs do NOT automatically open your mail program after
reviewing mail because you may disagree with the finding or results of
the filtering system. There are a few that do automatically open your
e-mail program.....but most seem to be programs that do not delete
mail, simply add something in the subject that says "possible SPAM" so
that when your e-mail program downloads you can filter the specific
e-mails to a folder for review. To me, this is a poor way to manage
SPAM. Why introduce another lever of program to filter what you can
just as easily fiolter in your e-mail program.
