:unsure: Has anyone used a programme called MailWasher? It is supposed to filter unwanted Emails. Is it any good or is there a better one. Grateful for any advice on this subject.

MailWasher is very good. You can bounce spam making the spammer think your address does not exist. You can preview a text version of emails (while still in your server) before opening them and possible executing viruses. I would recomend this program.

Is your email account a pop3 account or is it web based?

For some reason, I can't get it to work with Hotmail even though I've downloaded various versions of the program.

I believe that you'll need Mailwasher Pro for hotmail and multiple accounts.
Also, all versions below 2.0 don't support hotmail.

Duties are not performed for duty's sake, but because their neglect would make the man uncomfortable. A man performs but one duty - the duty of contenting his spirit, the duty of making himself agreeable to himself.
