Hello All:

Is there any way to get Mail Washer Pro to delete unwanted e-mails automatically and not send them to the junk folder?

Hi there

Yes, several ways.
First is to blacklist the address, then under Settings >> Spam Tools >> Blacklist >> Options >> there is an auto-delete setting there.

If matching the sending email address isn't the right option, or you don't want to auto-delete all blacklisted messages, then under Settings >> Spam Tools >> Filters >> you can create a Custom Filter with rules that match your criteria, and under the Options tab, set these to auto-delete. Though I would first run the filter for a time to be sure it's matching the emails you want removed and nothing else.

Lastly if you want a blanket auto-delete on emails MailWasher thinks are spam, then under Settings >> Spam Tools >> Spam Ratings >> you can remove messages based off their score from the various tools. I would start around -120 and lower as required.
You can also select to show the TOTAL column under Settings >> Display >> Inbox >> this column shows the total score the email received which is used for the auto-delete.


If you need any help with a Custom Filter, just let us know, happy to help you create.

Cheers
