Help! All my filters disappeared!

Fri Jan 21, 2022 5:51 am

[Edit: I restarted MW Pro and all the filters showed. I wonder if I previously started a second, virgin, copy? Or what? At any rate, all is now well.]

I may have finger-checked and deleted them inadvertently, but for whatever reason, they're gone. Is there a backup someplace that can be used to restore from? (Some of those had regexes in them that took a fair amount of work to create so they'd produce the results I was after - I hate to have to go through that effort again.)

Thanks!

I'm glad that your filters are back, but I'd still suggest backing up your MailWasher user files on a regular basis. That way, if the worst happens, you can use the back up to restore the settings that you've lost.

To find the user files that you should back up, in MailWasher, go to Help - User Files..., and MailWasher will open the folder that contains the user files that you need to back up in Windows Explorer. You can then add the folder to whatever back up system you use.
