Mail through Mailwasher

I have MailWasher Pro, but I have not been able to figure out if it can work so that emails to a scanned email address can go through, and based on what I see, I can go back to MailWasher, find the emails in question, and then mark them as spam or not spam.
Grateful for your input.

Hi Hans
So, if you want specific emails to pass direct to your email client, with others being held back, that isn't possible at present, though something were interested in looking into.
To have emails treated 'better' by MailWasher, you can use the Friends List to add senders to that, and also if necessary using Custom Filters you can craft a simple filter that will tag these emails and perform actions such as, never flag for delete, mark as good etc..

Hi. Never got notification, and under "Manage notification", I can manage nothing. So, sorry for the delay.
I used to have a spam program (it probably stopped working) that looked at all emails and let them all go through to my email client. I could then go back to that spam program, which contained a list of all email having gone through it, and I could mark emails as Good or Spam. When I open MailWasher, there is nothing! I simply have no idea how to use it. Please give me a hint.

PS. And if I cannot manage Notifications in the manager, where?

Thanks for the Notification and Tutorial. Great. Now, since i have run out of the trial period, let me ask one more question before I buy:
Do you have to look at emails in MailWasher (and mark them Good or whatever) before they can go through to your email client,
OR
Can you let mail go through to your email client and then go back to the same emails in MailWasher and mark them Good or whatever?
Thanks,
Hans L
PS. Now, I should get notifications about your responses.

You should look at the mail in MailWasher first, wash it, and then go to your email client and download it. That way, the only mail that gets to your email client is the stuff that you've reviewed and have accepted as being okay.
If you weren't able to view the video, this is probably it:

If you have a look at
https://www.youtube.com/user/nickboltonft/videos there are a range of emails dealing with other aspects of MailWasher as well.
