How do I backup my Friends list and Filters?

Tue Aug 24, 2010 12:49 am

I have just installed MailWasherPro 2010 and it appears that copying and pasting the filter text over from version 6.5.3 has worked, which is a great relief.

Where do I find the Blacklist.txt and Filters.txt files for MailWasher 2010 so that I can back them up?
In MailWasher Pro 6.5.3 they were located here (in Windows 7 Home Premium) ... C:\Users\MyName\AppData\Roaming\MailWasherPro

In MailWasher 2010, I see that under Help > User Files I am directed to
C:\Users\MyName\AppData\Roaming\Firetrust\MailWasher
where I find a file Filters.xml, but no mention of Blacklist or Friends list.

I assume that by saving the Filters.xml I can backup the filters, but how do I backup my friends list?

In the 'cache' subfolder just backup the MWP.db3 file.

Thanks rusticdog.

So as they are no longer Text files I take it the only way they can be edited in in MailWasher Pro itself?

That's right. Though you could edit the old Blacklist.txt file and reimport if there was something significant you needed to do.

At the moment I'm keeping version 6.5.3 on my PC until I'm used to the new version, but when I do uninstall 6.5.3, will the folder C:\Users\MyName\AppData\Roaming\MailWasherPro be removed with the uninstall?

If it is not used by the new version of MailWasher Pro would it be safe to delete this folder?

You ought to be prompted if you want to clear that data or not.....at least I'm sure we added that :)
I only have an old 5.x version installed right now for testing so can't say for certain.
