MW process mail problem

Fri Sep 19, 2008 1:49 pm

Hello, i had to reinstall my mailwasher. Now when i click on process mail, nothing happens, it just opens my mail program, it doesnt delete the spam email. I was wondering if this is a reported bug or if i am doing something wrong?

1 - Try with a full uninstall (including registry leftover entries) for examle with Revo_Uninstaller.
2 - Then reïnstall again latest version and ...
3 - Take care to enter correctly your pop3-settings.

When uninstalling keep (op copy) c:\user\opplication data\MailWasherPro content

Good luck :wink:

MW includes an option to clear its registry entries.

Because it is a resource created and maintained by the users at castlecops, most of whom have moved over here.

I have been monitoring the old forums at castlecops and it is rare to see any of the regulars there responding to posts since it takes 300 some seconds to load a page there so its future is uncertain.

Creating something similar on the firetrust site would be a good thing if they can generate the user interest in doing it.

Firetrust already has their own FAQ site that is employee maintained.

Thanks for your kind reply.
Maybe Firetrust could invite all MWpro users on this forum ?
A lot of members means a lot of exchange of ideas ... :wink:
I am a newbie here because i was not aware of the existence of this forum :?

They posted notices at castlecops.

Links not posted as I got bored after 200 seconds of waiting for castlecops to show a page.

Linked to here on the firetrust main website, second entry after the FAQ.

http://www.firetrust.com/en/support/mailwasher-pro

Discussed it in their blog.

Got a good Google position.

They didn't mention it in their last newsletter pimping Spyware Doctor but the newsletter seems to have pretty much gone from useful content to scan and delete material.

Agreed. Pretty much unimpressive, some might classify it as spam.

Tough audience! Although I'll admit, once upon a time I used to pay a whole lot more attention than I do now.

Well now, I don't know just how tough we are being.

The subject is MailWasher Newsletter.

Therefore my expectations would be that I might get a copy mentioning new versions, added features or tips and suggestions, possibly followed by an advertisement or two to pay the bills.

Every other newsletter I get no matter how cheesy (APC or Linux Journal) manages to find something to say about the subject of the letter even if it is obviously a lame excuse to get the ads also in the letter in my face.

We aren't talking about a major level of effort here, give one of the support folks a beer and tell them to come up with something, shouldn't take much longer than polishing off the brew.

Well said. I wonder how far the suggestions will go, however.

One suggestion you left out: solicitations of the general user populace for upgrades/new features to be included in the "new" Mailwasher.

BTW, I didn't say I was against the toughness, I just made a comment!
