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

Version: MailWasher Free 6.5.2

Cons: Support is not available and Help is really lame, BUT IT'S FREE!!!.
Summary: If you need to have your hand held setting up this program, I recommend paying for the Pro version.

Version: MailWasher Free 6.5.2
"Don't waste your time, or especially your money."
Pros: You can see some mail headers before downloading them from your server.
