Reviewed by: CNET Staff
This e-mail application aims to stop spam by letting you bounce e-mails from your POP3 server before you download them, fooling spammers into thinking your address isn't valid. You can add bounced senders to a personal blacklist that will bounce all future attempts automatically. If the spammer uses a program that purges bounced addresses, over time this should get your address off the list. Hotmail access is available only in the Pro edition of MailWasher, as is protection of multiple accounts. MailWasher Free works best for people with a single POP3 account, or as an extended demo for those who are considering buying the Pro version.Publisher's description

You can then delete unwanted e-mail before it gets to you. Other features help identify and protect you against viruses and worms. Included are comprehensive antispam tools and many other features.

Version: MailWasher Free 6.5.2
"Looks great - is it really? I am not qualified to say."
Pros: Clear, simple, believable format
Cons: Looks like the Free edition is just a support for pushing the Pro advertising. Finally I gave up and I bought MailWasher Pro
Summary: The best educated non-professional computer user can be judge of software only when things go wrong. And if the things go wrong, the best educated computer user is almost as helpless as someone who see a computer for the first time in his life. One ... read more >>

Version: MailWasher Free 6.5.2
"100% Email security = 100% Peace of Mind."
Pros: Clear and easy to understand and configure.
Cons: Don't know of any.
Summary: Even though the basic version is free, it is a bit basic. I was so impressed with it that I bought the full version when it first came on the market and enjoyed it working for me, protecting me ever since.
