Tried to launch Mailwasher after checking mail

Wed Jan 06, 2016 3:44 pm

Having just downloaded windows 10, have had to reconfigure my Mailwasher Pro. Got that sorted, but it wont wash the mail now. I have checked the 'launch after washing' icon, but nothing happens. Any suggestions? :crazy

I hate new version updates!! :rant

Hi there

Can you just clarify for me, when you press Wash Mail in MailWasher, it does delete the emails you've flagged, but doesn't open your email program ?

If you go Tools >> General Options >> beside 'Launch email application after processing" click the the Specify button >> try re-selecting your desired email program in the drop down list >> click OK.

Hopefully that gives it a kick.

If not, then try the above but choose the option 'Specify a mail client command' and using the "..." button you can manually navigate to the location of your email program. If you have a desktop shortcut for your email program, you can select that instead rather than going through the folders.

I just connected with Windows Live Mail, and have set that up. Thank you so much for the memory jog, too old for these sorts of changes now!!

Hopefully its a goer now, and can finally get some rest.

Cheers
