To be succinct, ISP spam filters often classify mails as spam when they are both legitimate and important. That can result in you not seeing them because they get sent to your spam folder or automatically deleted. Mailwasher leaves you to decide what is spam and what isn't. If you accidentally delete a mail, the restore option will allow you to retrieve it. > > **Cons**: In the Pro category, I said that the program is 98% perfect. The 2% missing is due to the fact that on rare occasions an unwanted mail will slip through within the space of time you have cleaned the list and then downloaded the remainder. I cannot think of any way the programmer could solve this though as the timeframe is far too tight. Therefore, I mention the issue but would not see it as a reason not to use this program. > > I have been using Mailwasher since 1998 and could not do without it. Because all the mail you receive remains on your ISP's server until you have cleaned it of undesirables, it is impossible to infect your machine with a virus (unless you open read it in HTML view and click on a link within the mail). You cannot view attachments while mails are on the server either. It provides a level of security that I have never found in any other anti-spam solution. ----- ### "Mailwasher Server Rocks\!" — 5.0/5 > **Michael** | *11 October 2021* | Computer Software | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: Mailwasher (Server) makes my life easier by automatically blocking spam and junk at the mail server level. I have a small consultancy with a few clients who utilize my mailserver, and MailWasher Server protects all of them (multiple email accounts in multiple domains). It's very easy to learn, configure and use. the Bayesian training is straightforward (and automatic) and it's easy to start over if needed. Setting up 'Good Filters' and 'Bad Filters' is also easy (e.g. create a Good Filter to always allow emails with a wildcard 'from' address of '\*@capterra.com' or even use regular expressions on to, from addresses, subject lines, email body, etc.) > > **Cons**: I have used this software for several years now, I don't have any cons. > > My overall experience has been very positive. MailWasher Server just works, and does its job very well for my needs. Support has been very timely and efficient, often going the extra mile to troubleshoot perceived issues (I say 'perceived' because so far any issue has embarrassingly been my own, not that of the software) ----- ### "Its a joke" — 1.0/5 > **Jeff** | *15 January 2025* | Information Technology & Services | Recommendation rating: 0.0/10 > > **Pros**: It was OK till it wasn't. Had it for years. > > **Cons**: Always issues. Onus constantly on user to fix. > > If I pay for a lifetime license - guess what you should offer remote access and you should fix it. Best way to summarize this app is that when I uninstalled it and left comments with the option to follow up by email - the program threw its usual error message and I wasn't even able to send feedback from within the program. That's how much of a joke it is. ----- ### "Great App to keep you safe" — 5.0/5 > **Mitchell** | *6 June 2024* | Transportation/Trucking/Railroad | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: Very easy to use and very safe does what it needs to > > **Cons**: Nothing at all great App work great and work with others ----- ### "Application that filters your mail intelligently" — 4.0/5 > **Gerson** | *26 April 2018* | Recommendation rating: 8.0/10 > > **Pros**: It is excellent to keep your mail clean and free from dirtty spam, it is very easy to start using it and as we use it becomes more accurate and effective that is why I call it smart, according to your use you will learn which email is spam and it gets better every day, has a list of friends and blacklist that improve even more its quality and work, it comes with a very good spam database that from the beginning will eliminate and filter much of the spam in your inbox. > > **Cons**: It is difficult to find something to claim this application since everything does everything right, in principle it leaves spam in the inbox but as it is configured correctly it will begin to work better and better. > > What better benefit than to keep your inbox clean and without any type of spam or junk mail, to make the task of checking something nice. ----- Page: 1 / 2\ Next: [Next page](https://www.softwareadvice.ie/software/92410/mailwasher?page=2) ## Links - [View on SoftwareAdvice](https://www.softwareadvice.ie/software/92410/mailwasher) ## This page is available in the following languages | Locale | URL | | en | | | en-AU | | | en-GB | | | en-IE | | | en-NZ | | ----- ## Structured Data
