#1. A new look

While everything should be instantly recognizable, MailWasher now has a more modern look, better spacing, and a side bar to easily view different email accounts, filters, and shortcuts to Settings. There's lots of configuration options to make MailWasher look the way you want and you can pop out the settings to a different screen to make changes separately.

Why?

We know it's always difficult to get used to a new look, that's why we've focused on adding improvements to what we think has been missing. The Sidebar, like all modern email programs, now splits up your email accounts so they're easier to read. Filters show emails classified so they're easier to review. It's much easier to view the emails in HTML and all other aspects of an email.

#2. Better Email Previews

Quickly switch between a different view of your email. See emails in plain text, HTML without images, HTML, The email header + Source, and spam/good evaluation.

Why?

Most emails are sent in HTML now, and a lot don't include any plain text which makes it difficult to read them. Now you can easily view and switch between different formats. HTML without images will prevent email senders from knowing if you've read their email. Adding a quick way to look at the email content, source and evaluation makes it quicker to look at how an email is evaluated.

#3. Side Panel

MailWasher now has a left side panel and displays each email account separately, (you can also multi-select). Also, it shows filters, letting you click on each filter to see what emails are recognized by the filters.

Why?

If you get a lot of emails, now it's easier to categorize them into different views. Selecting an email account and a filter is like using a checkbox. You click once to select it to show you the view of your emails and/or filter, and then click again to uncheck it.

#4. Friendslist Categories

Now you can add people's names in your friends list, and add them to a category - like newsletters, promotions, etc so you can more easily organise your emails.

Why?

Working through your friendslist can be a bit of a headscratcher when they don't include a name, so we included that. Plus categorieies makes it easier to quickly view all your emails in a particular category.

#5. Quick Word Filter

A simple quick filter which lets you filter a word in the subject, body or headers of an email.

Why?

A lot of people find custom filters difficult to make, so giving people the power to quickly and easily add a filter based on the email you're viewing will help.

#6. Classifying emails as good and spam

Classifying emails (thumbs up and thumbs down) to train MailWasher on what is spam and good is now in the Status column, but you can only see thumbs up and down icons when you mouse over an email.

Why?

We felt having an extra column for just classifying emails was a waste of space, so we integrated it into the status column so now you can train the email as good or spam more efficiently.

#7. Grouping in Custom Filters + Live Test

Now you can group filters. So this means when creating a custom filter you can do things like this.


Find all emails with... AND this... OR this.... But NOT this....


This makes filters more flexible, readable and easier to understand.


Plus, you can test and adjust your filters in real-time against your emails or any text in the new filter test area.

#8. Hold-Back Emails

This is the big one — it solves the most common issue users face.


With email providers switching from POP3 to IMAP, emails now arrive instantly across all your devices. This made it seem like MailWasher was being bypassed, since spam appeared in both MailWasher and your inbox at the same time.


In reality, IMAP was syncing emails everywhere at once, creating the impression that MailWasher wasn’t working.


Now, MailWasher can stop spam from reaching your inbox entirely — no more confusion or unwanted emails slipping through.

Why?

Coming in v8.1 (just a few final tweaks to go), MailWasher will stop emails from automatically reaching your inbox — no more bypassing.


You’ll be able to block all incoming mail by default, then choose to automatically allow emails from friends, specific categories, or manually release only the good emails by pressing the Wash Mail button.


Now you won't get unwanted emails in your inbox ever again.
