THIS GIVEAWAY HAS NOW EXPIRED[/message]

Nick Bolton, CEO at Firetrust (and regular DCT reader), has most kindly donated 10 LIFETIME licenses for the outstanding MailWasher Pro software for us to give away to 10 lucky readers. “Lifetime” means nothing to pay ever, no ongoing annual subscription fees plus free upgrades to future versions… Thank you Nick and Firetrust!

*NOTE: As soon as this giveaway has expired and the winners drawn, Firetrust will be offering a special 50% discount off MailWasher Pro exclusive to ALL DCT readers, including those who missed out on winning the freebies (we will be publishing a separate article with more details, including a link to the special 50% discount offer, immediately after the giveaway has expired).

I’ve been a MailWasher Pro user for many years, it’s one program I just couldn’t do without. In fact, I only have two paid for softwares installed and Mailwasher Pro is one of them.

MailWasher Pro – Outstanding Spam Filter & Email Manager

mailwasher pro_banner

The MailWasher Pro product page declares…”Anti-Spam Filter, trusted by millions“, but that description doesn’t really do MailWasher Pro justice, it’s not only a terrific spam filter it’s also a fantastic email manager. MailWasher Pro sits between your server and your email client and presents details of all new available emails for you to pick and choose what to download and what to delete, directly on the server. Spam, and other nuisance emails never get anywhere near your inbox.

The following excerpt from MailWasher Pro’s FAQ section describes the program’s primary function perfectly:

MailWasher works directly with your email server, exactly like your email program does. But there is one important difference: you can tell MailWasher to delete a message at the server, without downloading it – or you can bounce an email back to the sender so that it looks as though your address is not valid.

MailWasher retrieves information about all the emails on the server. With that information you can then decide what to do with each individual email – download, delete, or bounce back. If you check your account with MailWasher first, you can delete or bounce the emails you do not want. Then, when you use your email program, it downloads only the remaining emails, those that you want to read.

MailWasher can be thought of as a “first line of defence” which can weed out junk, large wasteful attachments, and potentially harmful viruses.

Check out this brief video tour:

I use MailWasher Pro to manage all my email accounts – my personal email account, my DCT email account, and my Outlook.com webmail account – all from the one place, within MailWasher. It really simplifies the whole process as well as significantly lessening the impact on my ISP’s data download limit by downloading only those emails I want to read and/or interact with. Goodbye spam! Goodbye unwanted joke emails! Goodbye large (unwanted) attachments!

I can see immediately who the email is from, the subject line, the size of any attachments, and even preview the message. From there, I can easily decide which emails I want to download and which ones I do not want to download. Simply mark the unwanted emails for deletion and only the remaining wanted emails will be downloaded to your email client.

As you can see from the above screenshot, there are plenty of options for dealing with emails and MailWasher quickly learns from your choices so the process becomes more and more automated while still leaving the final decision entirely in the hands of the user.

As well as including a blacklist (for spam senders) and whitelist (for friends and safe senders), MailWasher Pro incorporates Bayesian filtering technology, which many refer to as an “intelligent filter”. This component helps the spam filter software learn the differences between spam and wanted email and is surprisingly accurate after a relatively short period of time.

MailWasher Pro is extremely effective but it’s also really simple to set up and use. Existing email accounts are imported automatically and MailWasher Pro is then ready to go to work. All you need do is just choose how you want MailWasher to behave – preferences such as minimizing to either the Taskbar or System tray, how often you want MailWasher to check for new emails (10 minutes by default), etc.

Once ready to go, MailWasher Pro will notify you each time a new email arrives, both visually and audibly. You can then open the program, see who the email is from and decide whether you want to download it or not, or perhaps just read the message in the preview pane and then delete it, all the choices are entirely in your hands.

You can even drill down more thoroughly into the email’s details; clicking on Show Email Info will replace the preview pane with detailed information about the email separated under three tabs – very useful for helping identify the exact source and determining if an email is legitimate or not:

And if you accidentally delete the wrong email, MailWasher Pro’s got your backside covered there too – simply open the “Recycle Bin” tab, right click the deleted email and select Restore. Too easy!

MailWasher works with every email program, since all email programs support POP3 or IMAP: eg. Microsoft Outlook, Outlook Express, Windows Live Mail, Thunderbird, GMail, Hotmail, AOL, Postbox, Outlook.com, Yahoo with Mail+ and so on.

I guarantee that, once you’ve experienced MailWasher Pro, you’ll never want to go back to your previous method of handling emails again.

  1. managing multiple email accounts within One interface and protecting from spam, viruses and phishing attacks, best of all screening email before download it onto computer. Thanks for the contest

  2. I have been using mailwasher since it 1st came out. No question, The absolute best Spam blocker filter available. Man I hope i win a lifetime license. Thanks for the Giveaway, Dave and Nick Bolton.

  3. Many years ago I discovered Mailwasher. I was impressed. But I started using Mail Box Dispatcher because it offered checking multiple accounts, previewing messages, and delete from the server. Mailwasher Pro came out with the same ability and I’ve always wanted to try it. It does offer many more features. I appreciate the chance to use the lastest version.

  4. I have heard only good things about this program and really like the lifetime updates so heres to a spam free inbox, perhaps.

  5. Hi ,
    I have been using Mailwasher Free for years and have not been able to afford
    the paid version .I would love to be able to own the paid version with so many
    extra features

    I have used Mailwasher Pro since it was created and would not have a computer without it. It had kept unwelcome emails from being brought into my mail inbox so many times. Hope I get one of the lifetime licenses!

  7. Another great offer, and for a product I’ve long admired & respected.

  8. MailWasher has been one of my all time favourite application. Whenever they held a giveaway for a free one year license I also try to get one. I never managed to purchase a lifetime license due to cost, but I hope this contest will give me some luck.

    Out of curiosity what was the other program that you ever purchased?

  9. Firstly I would say thanks Nick Bolton and Jim Hillier a lot for this perfect giveaway!

    I like MailWasher Pro very much and it’s also very useful for every PC user.

    Really hope to win a license. Please count me in.

    Thanks again.
