Reinstalling Mailwasher and retrieving previous data

Sun Dec 08, 2024 6:00 am

Hello:

I uninstalled Mailwasher 7.15.10 in order to troubleshoot my email downloads. It is now fixed.

I reinstalled Mailwasher, and imported file Exported data.mwp. And I see Friend list and Black list in Settings. I ]also have C:\Users\[MY_ID]\AppData\Roaming\Firetrust\MailWasher\cache\MWP.db3.

What I am nor sure about is all the URLs marked Spam and maybe other filters. And I do not have anything in the recycling bin. And, if Import in Settings is involved, I do not really understand the process.

Would be grateful for some aid in recovering what I had before uninstalling.

Thanks,

Hans L

Hi Hans,
Yes, just import that .mwp file via File>>Import within MWpro and MWPro should be exactly as before you uninstalled....?

Hi Hans,
Yes, that's indeed very annoying alright... another option is to try opening it with a .zip file manager (like 7zip for example]) and extract the contents to the folder that opens when you click Help>>User Files within MWpro.

Note, ensure you replace the current files with MWpro closed however.

7zip is here if needed: https://7-zip.org/download.html
