I've been using Mailwasher for many years but I've yet to find a way to completely ignore unwanted e-mails. For example, I have a filter to automatically hide/delete all e-mails sent from rocketmail.com but the deleted e-mails still show up in the recycle bin. Is there a way to completely ignore all rocketmail.com e-mails so it appears as if I've never received anything from rocketmail.com - unless I have a specific rocketmail.com e-mail address in my friends list?
If I could get this to work then I would add most of the web-based e-mail companies: Hotmail, Yahoo, Gmail etc, to a filter and I would then be oblivious to web-based spam as the only web-based e-mail that I would receive would be from my friends list.
The issue then is that I want the option not to show deleted items in the recycle bin. Thanks!

Change the retention time on the recycle bin to 0 days and they will go away quicker.
I'm not sure why having them appear in the recycle bin is an issue since it is automatically cleaned of older messages on a daily basis.

Re: Filter to completely ignore unwanted e-mails
Thanks for your advice but your suggestion would negate the ability to recover deleted e-mails.
Ideally there should be an option on the blacklist functionality to not show any e-mails at all from a particular e-mail or domain unless it's from a friend. The whole purpose of blacklisting something is because you're not interested so why should it show up in the recycle bin where I still have to view it when I check for deleted items. And that's the issue... I still regularly go through the stuff in the recycle bin just in case an e-mail has been deleted by mistake. So I still have to wade through all those deleted Rocketmail, Hotmail and Yahoo e-mails while checking for e-mails that have been deleted by mistake. If these blacklisted e-mails didn't show up in the recycle bin then it would make life easier.
If there was an option to completely hide all blacklisted e-mails then I would find that useful.

The Blacklisting feature has outlived its usefulness in recent times as most Spammers now use spoofed email addresses.Derichleau wrote:Ideally there should be an option on the blacklist functionality to not show any e-mails at all from a particular e-mail or domain unless it's from a friend.
FWIW, the option to hide undesirable emails is available on only the later MWP 20xx editions - the V6 that you're using is no longer being developed (we've all upgraded to the newer MWP 20xx edition.)Derichleau wrote:If there was an option to completely hide all blacklisted e-mails then I would find that useful.

Re: Filter to completely ignore unwanted e-mails
I'm not sure that the 201X versions let you hide things in the recycle bin, I thought that only worked in the mail grid. I don't have a Windows system running to check that in 2012 so I can't confirm it.TrustFire wrote: FWIW, the option to hide undesirable emails is available on only the later MWP 20xx editions - the V6 that you're using is no longer being developed (we've all upgraded to the newer MWP 20xx edition.)

Re: Filter to completely ignore unwanted e-mails
As far as MWP 20xx is concerned, the 'Recycle Bin' is the last place to be even taken into consideration before designing a filter; when the objective is simply to hide undesirable mails.
