There are some really dumb comments here from people who clearly don't know what the program does. I've used it for years and it's very good at doing what it says on the box... Just read the box first.

It is a good program. I loved it when I was using it, but to me it is SERIOUSLY flawed. You buy it and it expires. Every year you have to pay them to continue using it. So it is not buy to own but a yearly subscription. I used my own filters and not their "online databases" but still I cannot use the program I purchased. I was a loyal user since v6, but I won't support programs that expire. At the time I bought the 20xx versions they didn't mention this little nugget of info. When I complained about the extortion, they offered me another year but I didn't accept it. You can stop supporting a program, you can make it so you can't get updates, but if you make it stop working even though it was installed and working, your program is garbage.
So just be warned. It is NOT shareware or anything of the type as listed on this page. It is a trial software that is subscribed to with a yearly fee attached. It's not even as nice as the antivirus software, most of those expire but you can keep using them but not updating the definitions, this program won't even load once expired. I guess they didn't like the fact that you could write your own filters and not use their "online databases" and still have the program work quite effectively, so to keep leaching money out of you they just expired the program so you can't use it. I highly recommend you do NOT buy software that works this way.

Negative posters here are not terribly bright:
1) Not everyone likes and uses webmail.
2) MailWasher allows the user to deal with (delete) spam and unwanted email at the server, so it is never downloaded to the computer.
MailWasher is a terrific spam/email manager. Quickly and easily preview emails held on the server with one click. Mark any unwanted emails for deletion then one click to view the remainder through your email client.
Spam never gets near your machine....too easy!!

Um, ok. So this program get all my mail first, lets me look at all the spam and all the messages, delete them if I choose. THEN I have to open my email program and get the messages again?
This is a strange way of dealing with email, seems like it would be a much slower process.
I would just switch my email client to Thunderbird, train the spam filter by showing it spam and non-spam messages, (no one trains their filter which is why most of them fail) and that would take care of it in a single program.

I get gobs of spam with my Gmail account and Gmail picks them up, where as Mail washer couldn't recognize a single spam email. Not impressed at all.

MailWasher is an excellent program. I've been using it for a very long time.
Pfurri, you gave the free version of the app a rating of 1 because it doesn't support multiple accounts? How lame is that? The Pro version supports multiple accounts.

Where's the changelog? Not here. Not on the website. Install an unknown over my current version? No way. 5 stars for version 6.3
ADDENDUM Feb 9: Quote from firetrust:
"this was a unexpected update in the weekend, just a few minor changes, so not worth updating if all is going OK with you there"

I've been using this for years and haven't had an issue since 5.0 or so. It's the perfect solution not only for dealing with spam but also filtering and clearing other unwanted or unnecessary email without having to download it from the server. Over time, you'll find lots of other neat little personal uses for it. I can't live without it now.
mizkitty reviewed v6.3 on Oct 13, 2008
Have to say I've been using this program for years also and it works great...
I love being able to delete spam off the mail server w/o ever having to actually download it.
