Mailwsaher repeatedly downloads messages left on server

Fri Sep 03, 2010 8:01 am

I use Mailwasher to check several accounts; for some I need to leave mail on the server even after I download it to Outlook 2007. In prior versions of Mailwasher, these messages would show once then disappear after I downloaded them to Outlook. Now they reload every time I check mail. I tried clearing the grid, and they cleared but redownloaded at the next check. I cannot find a setting that would keep these emails from repeated visits. Is there a way to do this? Aside from this issue i really like the newest version and feel it is well worth the $10.

MW has always re-downloaded all messages on the server, v6 did have an option to hide them though. 2010 also offers a Cache option on each account that can skip downloading (but not showing) previously fetched messages. I think they are looking at hiding options though and this may change.

Yeah, the cache option will certainly help loading of the same messages over and over, it's enabled by default so I expect it's already doing this.


I've not used grouping in this manner, but you could in theory group by the Read column, that way your emails would be in two groups, read and unread....and you could easily collapse of expand that group http://www.firetrust.com/en/blog/chris/ ... ide-emails

At a glance I don't think this will work so well though.
