Publisher's description
From Firetrust :MailWasher Pro allows you to preview multiple accounts and all aspects of your e-mail on the server before you download it to your computer, thus protecting you from spam, viruses, phishing attacks, and other nuisances. The program also learns what kind of e-mail you want to receive and adapts to your preferences. You can then delete unwanted e-mail before it gets to you and even report it to the central FirstAlert database, where it's verified to ensure no other MailWasher Pro user gets it. Other features help identify and protect you against viruses and worms. Also included are comprehensive, customizable filters, use of public blacklists to identify spammers, and multiple accounts. MailWasher Pro is compatible with POP3, Hotmail, MSN, AOL, and IMAP.
Version 5.2 improves spam detection and reporting of spam.

Version: MailWasher Pro 5.2
Pros: I have been using MW since Nick first put it out there. He works in association with some of the greatest folks out there who are, and have been, helping us undersatnd and fight spam, and secure our PC's in other ways.
MW is invaluable to me, and I am in total control, and I like it that way. I can scan many accounts all at once, or individually, prior to downloading (actually retrieving to my computer) any email. There's lots of support fo rusing and customizing its use, and its not going away anytime soon seeing as how it has solid support in the widespread tech community. Thank for your efforts Nick, and the team at MWP.
Uses about 5.8kb, sits in the tray, can automate checking, works well with AV software, never crashed once, ...if you are even thinking about this type of software then you must give this a try.
I am in no way affiliated with Nick, MW,or the great people who keep me hooked on it through their hard work.
Cons: Not a one.

Version: MailWasher Pro 5.2
"IMHO, the best anti-spam program"
Pros: I was so impressed with the free trial version that I bought it after one day's use -- and their offer of a 20% discount within the first 24 hours didn't hurt. What makes this program so effective is the ability to "bounce" spam anonymously back to the sender via relay, so they get the message you're not home. You also have the option of reporting the spammer to SpamCop (you have to set up a free account with SpamCop first). In addition, the first year includes a free subscription to their spammers' database, which helps in the filtering also. MailWasher Pro "previews" your e-mail on your server before it is downloaded to your client e-mail program. It will learn who is friendly, it checks its database of spammers to mark known spam, and you can change any senders you like to friends or foes. The program is easy to use, intuitive, and was just what I was looking for after trying many anti-spam programs for several years. And for those of you who naively believe that after installing any *legitimate* anti-spam program you are overrun with spam because of the program being installed, I say "baloney." Get a grip!
I am so impressed with this program that I'll buy it for all five of my computers, even though I just purchased Cloudmark's anti-spam program. MailWasher Pro is far superior in form and function. Highly recommended by this former IT techie and manager with 36 years' experience!
Cons: None!

Version: MailWasher Pro 5.2
Pros: So far... I LOVE this program. I bought the Pro version. I particularly like the "bounce" option. May not actually bounce anything to the spam producing parasite, but, there's a placebo effect, regardless. Checks multiple email accounts and hasn't misidentified one yet....unlike Norton Anti-Spam, which continually puts legitimate emails in the Anti-Spam folder.
Cons: Could improve the set-up instructions slightly for those of us whose ISP server requires authentication to send or bounce an email.
