Bug and Suggestion List

[deckard]

Forgive me if this is not the right place or if these have already been mentioned.
Currently running MailWasher Pro 2010 v1.0.10 on Windows XP SP3.

These are all based on my previous and extensive use of 6.x.

Bugs:

- On first launch, I had a few emails showing up green as "Friend", but they were not in the friends list. I right-clicked expecting to see the "Remove from Friends list" option, but instead only saw "Friends List > Remove Domain". When I did this, a whole slew of "Friend" emails (with different domains) were cleared of any status (turned white with no text in the status column). Closing and reopening the app seemed to solve this. It may have had to do with the fact that the Blacklist was not imported the first time.

- The columns do not seem to sort properly when clicked. For instance, click the Status column bar. First time=arrow up, second time=arrow down, third time=arrow disappears. This is consistent for all columns.

- Hitting the Home or End keys should bring you to the top or bottom of the list and select the very top or bottom email. This used to work, albeit erratically, in 6.x. It does not seem to do anything now. Page Up/Down does do this.

Suggestions/Wish list (based on years of Outlook use, understanding that not everyone uses Outlook):

- When sorting columns with an email selected, it should sort but keep the selected email visible. Outlook does this and keeps it at the bottom of the list no matter what.

- It would be nice if you could sort by multiple fields, as in Outlook, where you sort by From, then hold shift and click Status, which would then apply both.

- MS Exchange support.

Please let me know if you need any more info.

Thanks and keep up the great work!

Hi there

- On first launch, I had a few emails showing up green as "Friend", but they were not in the friends list. I right-clicked expecting to see the "Remove from Friends list" option, but instead only saw "Friends List > Remove Domain". When I did this, a whole slew of "Friend" emails (with different domains) were cleared of any status (turned white with no text in the status column). Closing and reopening the app seemed to solve this. It may have had to do with the fact that the Blacklist was not imported the first time.

It might have been possible you had a wildcard entry added that was more than just *@domain.com
I could think this kind of behaviour might occur if for example you had a wildcard of *@*, and removing the domain wildcard would have potentially removed this.

- The columns do not seem to sort properly when clicked. For instance, click the Status column bar. First time=arrow up, second time=arrow down, third time=arrow disappears. This is consistent for all columns.

All columns have three sort orders, ascending, descending and none. Clicking through cycles through these.

- Hitting the Home or End keys should bring you to the top or bottom of the list and select the very top or bottom email. This used to work, albeit erratically, in 6.x. It does not seem to do anything now. Page Up/Down does do this.

I think we use the grid defaults, so CTRL + HOME and CTRL + END will do this.

Suggestions/Wish list (based on years of Outlook use, understanding that not everyone uses Outlook):

- When sorting columns with an email selected, it should sort but keep the selected email visible. Outlook does this and keeps it at the bottom of the list no matter what.

Mine seems to keep the selected email visible. I'll have to spend some more time on this.

- It would be nice if you could sort by multiple fields, as in Outlook, where you sort by From, then hold shift and click Status, which would then apply both.

You can do that now, you can also group by columns. Under Quick Display you can elect to show the group header, then drag and drop columns into this to group as desired. I would suggest personally grouping by account at a minimum.

- MS Exchange support.

We don't have this on our immediate list, typically I would expect most Admins wouldn't be too adverse to allowing a POP or IMAP access to the account if requested. I guess it depends on the environment.

Great info. My apologies for not researching it further myself. Thanks for the quick reply!
