Abe, thanks for the tip.

My Mac is my main computer. So there is no reason to buy MailWasher.

“It appears this program works for both Mac & PC?!”

It only works on other platforms through virtualized windows operating system.
If you are just running Mac or Linux, don’t buy this expecting it to work.

C’mon Chris, this post is nothing more than an advertisement and affiliate kick back for you. Filtering spam, or in this case quarantining all messages, is a giant band-aid to the real problem.

Facebook and LinkedIn have the problem figured out – its time to allow users to build their own e-mail network as opposed to letting a spam filter decide who e-mail users can communicate with. This opt-in model is a simple IT solution that provides e-mail users with unparalleled security and control.

Our users love our product because it does just that, 100% spam elimination. While it looks like MailWasher allows users an added level of control over their e-mail (huge plus), at what expense? They are still left to comb through a “junk folder” to retrieve good messages and sort through the bad ones – an unnecessary waste of time.

I’ve been using MailWasher Pro since it first came out. It’s quick and easy and their support is great. Well worth it. I always recommend it to everyone I know.

When the spam hits your inbox it’s an automatic FAIL. I’m a strong believer in server-side filtering. I use two gmail accounts for that purpose. My public email address forwards to a different account that I actually check, so 90% of the spam gets stopped by the first account before it even reaches my real account.

Since I already know that you use a variety of operating systems it would really be helpful if in your articles you made at least some mention somewhere what OS programs you review/promote work with.

I’ve been torn about such programs for years.

Over recent years, I’ve checked much of my PC email via the web, rather than using a program to download the email.

I took a good look at the product description page.

It appears this program works for both Mac & PC?!

I’m still a bit undecided. I only get spam from my Gmail account, and not my Roadrunner or MobilMe accounts.

I downloaded Mailwasher Pro and my McAfee indicated it was blocking a trojan during the download. I aborted the download. What happened?

I too have been using Mailwasher for an awfully long time! Probably since it was a one-man cottage industry and they were using quill pens on parchment. Started off with the free version and then got REALLY daring and went for pro. One of the most useful programs around. I always liken it to having a look at your snail-mail whilst it’s still in the sorting office and then deciding if you actually want the postman to deliver it. (Hope the UK terminology doesn’t confuse our friends across the pond!). The only aspect of the program which may not be of use these days is the “bounce” facility. Once upon a time, the false message it sent back to say that there had been an error might have cut some ice but it’s of little use now.

I’ve used Mailwasher Pro for several years and can’t imagine email without it. 50% off, or not; it’s worth every single penny you’ll pay for it.
