"Don't trust this company"
Version: MailWasher Free 2012.1.20
Pros
The program works ok but the company stinks.
Cons
The program is good enough but don't even think about paying for a lifetime upgrade. I did and then 2 years later they withdrew it saying I had to pay for the next upgrade. Completly dishonest
-
"Really Sad"
Version: MailWasher Free 2012.1.20
Pros
Absolutely None
Cons
Enough to make me write a negative review
Summary
I've been a Mailwasher user for years. Advertising something as "Free" (even though I paid for a never to expire license - which did)
and then making me sign-up for something I don't want isn't free. -
"Great program for checking email"
Version: MailWasher Free 2012.1.20
Pros
Easy setup and allows me to check my email before it gets to my pc without any fuss. Good time saver.
Cons
Comes with download.com's advertising based installer like all other software on download.com, but you can opt out of installing the advertised software during installation
Summary
Solid program, well worth the time to give it a try
-
"Loaded a spam program, even though checked not to."
Version: MailWasher Free 2012.1.20
Pros
Easy to uninstall. You will also need to uninstall the popup advertising program that came with it.
Cons
Loaded a spam advertising program, even though checked not to in install.
Summary
Why would I want to install MORE SPAM to get rid of EXISTING SPAM?
Cnet is getting ridiculous to allow more and more of this in the downloads. -
"My Go-To Spam-buster for Outlook Express since 2003!"
Version: MailWasher Free 6.5.4
Pros
I've been using this program since 2003 when I needed to do some serious spam-busting before I downloaded my email via Outlook Express. Since I first used the program, I've used it with every new computer I've owned. Gives you the ability to screen, bounce, delete and bouce -and-delete. I find the complaints puzzling... I guess if you just use webmail, you simply do not need this.
Cons
None. If you use webmail, you don't need this. If you download your email to your PC, this is a great program to screen and/or bouce your emails before downloading.
Summary
If you use Windows Live Mail (or formerly Outlook Express), this program is a godsend and you'll use it all the time. If you use webmail, then you don't need this, just be quiet and use your webmail instead of putting a good program down just because you personally don't need it. Save negative comments for crappy programs, thanks.

"Fantastic program!"
Version: MailWasher Free 6.5.4
Pros
Liked it so much I brought the full version, (no ads!)
Bouncing works primo (not for spam though, just for pesky ex-friends)
Fantastic tech support!
Worked with my hotmail and gmail account, (can only setup one account in free version though)Cons
None that I have found yet.

"Great Except for the advertising"
Version: MailWasher Free 6.5.4
Pros
All the features you need. You just have to enable them. Use the forums to figure out the best way. I get hundreds of spams a day. Mailwasher pro gets it down to a few decisions while they're still on the server.
Cons
Advertising on the screen. It's so good it's a no brainer if you get a lot of spam. The bounce feature is one to avoid as it lets spammers know they found a live address. Just forget about that.
Summary
Buy it if you get a lot of spam and your life will be a lot eisier.

"Free washer does not work"
Version: MailWasher Free 6.5.4
Pros
None The earlier free version worked for years. This new one does not work EVER!!!!!
Cons
lots of work for nothing
Summary
Tried it 6 or 7 times. Never worked. But the PRO works right away.
That's how they get you. -
"Seems to work okay, appears to have some glitches..."
Version: MailWasher Free 6.5.4
Pros
1)I like that it catches & labels emails "spam" or "good". Most of which it does correctly.
2)Also like bouncing this "junk" back to the spammers.
3)It works sufficiently with my main Hotmail account which gets the bulk of my messages.
4)I have other email accounts linked to my Hotmail account, they too got checked. Meaning that, even though the "free" version allows for only 1 email address, I get all my accounts that are linked filtered. Great Plus!Cons
1)Set up took awhile to figure out, using the different options and how they affected what the program was doing.
2)Doesn't open my email account in Firefox, it opens in IE, which I rarely use.
3)When I open this program 1st, I still find that I have junk email in my Hotmail account, which I then have to move to my inbox w/o opening, of course, go back to Mailwasher and have it re-check the mail to catch the invader. Seems to defeat the idea of preventing "spam" from reaching your PC if you have to go thru this process, but this maybe apart of the programs learning process.Summary
I installed this "free" version on 1/20/2012.
After figuring out the POP and SMTP settings for my Hotmail account and clearing my "inbox" of 8500+ messages, I set about trying this.
I was very satisfied with it initially, but noticed that, occasionally there were glitches that showed "error" codes when I would open it to check my mail. Some messages that had been labeled friend or foe previously, would come back requiring designation again.
Jury is still out on this program for me, so I don't see my self paying for the "pro" version until I get a better feel for whether this is actually stopping junk or at least catching it w/o me having to open my regular account and moving it to my "inbox".
Because I cleaned my emails out, I'm hoping that some of my experience with this program is from it "learning" what's what.
Finally, I would say that if you don't mind tweaking the program to better suit your needs, this maybe for you.
It's definitely not a download 'n go deal. -
"WORTHLESS!!!"
Version: MailWasher Free 6.5.4
Pros
Uhhhhhh, can't think of any.
Cons
As stated by other users this will only work with 1 program which already has good spam filtering. Will not work with yahoo mail, hotmail, gmail, etc.
Summary
Total waste of time & unnecessary mucking of computer. Embarrassing program!
