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 6.3
"Great for diverting & bouncing junk mail!"
Pros: User friendly, good but basic visuals
Cons: Some error messages. You need to keep an eye on what it's deleting, as sometimes you can accidentally delete messages you want to keep, but there is no way to get them back in the free version.
Summary: Great! I hate spam. But be careful not to delete messages you want - you won't get them back again in the free version.

Version: MailWasher Free 6.3
Pros: Easy to use, fast and effective - and with the preview feature, not just for spam either.
Cons: Only deals with one e-mail account - but from what I've seen, the Pro upgrade is worth it
Summary: I have a "catch-all" type mail account, which has fairly ineffective spam filtering. IN addition, some of my so-called acquaintances are in the habit of forwarding every humourous video that comes into their posession to their entire address book. M... read more >>
