I never had this problem previously but now the latest installed version 7.15.33 crashes every time I mark any emails for bouncing.
I'm a longtime user and have never seen this issue before.

Re: Latest version 7.15.33 now crashes all the time
Best option here is to not bounce, (see below) however yes, it should indeed not crash when you do.... possibly something is amiss with the account setup....?
I recommend you try deleting the problem email account first:
Settings>>Accounts, click the account>>Remove Account.
Click File>>Exit to close MWpro, then re-open it.
Then setup the account/s again:
In Mailwasher Pro click, Settings>>Accounts>>Add Email Account, type any name for this account you like, enter your email address and click Save.
Click the Incoming tab and click "Sign in with Microsoft/Yahoo/Gmail", follow the prompts and you'll be asked for permission to allow MW access to the account, ensure you agree to this.
(NOTE: if "Sign in with Microsoft/Yahoo" does not show, just enter your normal email account password and click Save)
If it shows successful, click Save again on the outgoing tab, refresh folders on the IMAP tab (IF asked) and you are all set.
Re why not bounce.... ?
Although you can still bounce in the 7.xx versions, (just right click an email and click mark for bounce), we disabled the bounce column and the automatic bounce option to stop users from bouncing all spam emails, as we no longer actually recommend to bounce all emails because 90% of all email addresses in Spam messages are forged and therefore no one will ever receive that bounce message and it is just unnecessary email traffic.
Plus, a lot of ISP's actively block bounces now, and sometimes even block the senders of these...
Where the bounce feature is demonstrably useful is where you are trying to get off a legitimate business's mailing list that you are having trouble opting out of. Business mailing lists usually do check for bounces, do recognize MailWasher bounces as legitimate and do remove you from their mailing list.
