The latest release will provide all the features of the full commercial MailWasher Pro edition for its first 10 days of use, but after that introduces four main restrictions:
- There’s no Recycle Bin, which means you can’t browse or restore deleted emails.
- Your email account is automatically checked for spam, every few minutes.
- Preview options are limited, so it may be more difficult to manually determine whether a particular message is spam.
- Technical support is unsurprisingly reserved for paying customers.
And, probably most crucially, the program will be limited to checking 1 email address only, perhaps a deal-breaker for many people.
If you can live with the final restriction, though, MailWasher 2012 Free could serve you very well: it’s easy to set up (the program imported all our Outlook contacts and email account details automatically), simple to use, and the Bayesian filters deliver a high level of accuracy, all helping to keep your Inbox pleasingly clear of junk.
