Mail is not removed from MailWasher Pro after a Wash

Sat Mar 09, 2013 2:35 pm

Mailwasher Pro 6 used to remove messages after a Wash then downloading into Outlook 2010, then checking mail again (the downloaded messages were then removed).

This has only happened after a new router was installed but I fail to see why that would change anything in how MailWasher Pro 6 handles messages!

Any ideas as to how to restore MWP6 to original functioning state?

Not a MW problem, the remove downloaded messages is an Outlook function. Check your setting for "Leave mail on server" and unselect that option.

Thanks to you all! IT WAS the issue of messages being left on the server. I previously had that deselected in Outlook but when Telstra took remote control and set up a new mail directory (unwanted) yesterday, I failed to notice they had not deselected the leave message on server option!. All fixed now! Thanks heaps guys!

I have just re-joined MWP as we had purchased a new computer and was confusing downloading all the old stuff. So I deleted the old MWP and have now installed the new MWP. I just love this program, have been a devoted user for about 12 years now. BUT, as I am a golden oldie, I cannot fathom how to get rid of the mail after it has been washed, other than to delete it myself. There has to be a way around this. I am using Windows Live Mail as my mail account. It does not have the screen shot above, so I cannot untick the "leave a copy on your server'. Any suggestions are gratefully received!

Cheers

The above screenshot belongs to Outlook — hence, it won't resemble your Windows Live Mail options.
