What is Mail Washer? What is Email filtering software?
The use of emails has become very much essential in personal and business life. Email has become more important than the phone or address of a person. When two people meet for the first time it is very common to exchange their email addresses for communication next time.

Daily we receive many different types of emails. Advertisements about products, emails requesting help, emails from adult websites, emails claiming that you have won a lottery or a prize, Or even emails from some country that they want to deposit a huge amount of money to your bank account etc. etc.

These Junk mails, Unsolicited mails or Spam emails we receive daily. It becomes a difficult task to identify them and deleted them manually.

To identify and delete SPAM mails there are many Spam filters available. Just like the Antivirus which identifies viruses and deletes them, Spam filters are used to identify and delete spam mails in your inbox.

Users of web based emails such as 'hotmail, yahoo or gmail' do not have to worry too much about SPAM, because these email servers use Spam filters to filter these unwanted emails from your inbox. However some spam mails somehow find their way into your inbox.

So whether you are using web mails or POP3 or IMAP mails, in addition to the SPAM filters at the server you also need to have a spam filter in your desktop computer. Only then you can effectively fight against SPAM.

Which is the best SPAM filter software? Mail Washer is one of the most popular spam filter software. Mail Washer can be used in Windows 95/98/NT/2000/XP.

How does Mail Washer work?

Mail washer is used to filter SPAM mails and delete from your email inbox.

Just like your email client, Mail Washer also connects to the Mail server. It will identify the SPAM emails and list it. It can also delete the SPAM emails at the server itself without downloading it to your computer.

Mail Washer can also return the SPAM mails back to the sender. By doing this it creates an impression that your email address is wrong and thats why the mail has been returned. This will make the sender believe that your email is an invalid email and hence prevent further spam mails from the same sender.

Mail Washer also helps to create black lists and white lists. You can configure Mail Washer to delete black listed emails at the server and only download the white listed emails to your computer.

Which is better? Delete in the server? or Delete in the computer?

What will you do if you don't have the Mail Washer? you will download all mails including SPAM to your computer. So you are wasting your internet time and bandwidth. You also waste time by opening these spam mails and deleting them manually. Some spam emails also have 'web bugs' that can spy on you and send your secrets to the web bugs creator.

Using Mail Washer you can identify SPAM mails at the server and delete it there itself. Web bugs will not function. Only good emails will be downloaded to your computer. So you save on your internet time, bandwidth and your time and money.
