Displaying read and unread mail

Thu Sep 28, 2023 2:27 am

When I check my mail it shows emails that are unread and read. How do I get it to show only the unread emails?

It sounds like you have got your email program setup to leave a copy of the message on the server, or you just need to check mail again in MWP to clear the screen?

----------------------
First though, please note that Mailwasher does not actually download or keep a copy of the mail, it just checks it on the server and displays a portion of the message so you
can then see if it is spam and decide to delete, or keep it, any mail MW shows is simply mirrored from your ISP's mail server.
----------------------

Most email programs are listed on our FAQ's here:
http://www.firetrust.com/en/products/ma ... the-server

OR, another possibility is that this account is setup as IMAP as opposed to POP.... either change the account type to POP in your email client, (you may need to delete the account first, then set it up as POP), OR, you can change to IMAP within MWpro under Settings>>Accounts, click your email account, click the Incoming tab, and beside "Server Type:" select IMAP in place of POP.

Click save to save changes.

Then, in MWPro click, Settings>>Accounts, click your email account, and click the Incoming tab>>Advanced, and ensure that, "Download read emails" is not ticked there.
This way, it wont show all your old emails that are on the mail server.

Thanks! I had forgotten about the option to download read files or not. That fixed it!
