Is mailwasher worth the upgrade?

[JunkMonkey]

My latest version of V-Com's System Suite 5 came with a 'lite' version of
MailWasher. Which I assume is similar to the free version. I like it quite
a bit, but I was wondering if the upgrade version was worth the price of $30
or so? I would only use it with a single email account. Anyone out there
with real day to day experience with both the free and pay versions? Would
it be overkill for someone like me?

IMO the free version would be perfectly adequate for your needs.

I have Mailwasher Pro (I think V 4 now) but then I have 4 or five email
accounts I push through there daily (20 to 50) emails. For one email
account, no it's not worth the price.

No, but, if you want multiple accounts you can get version 1.33 here

Shouldn't think so, but I've got lots of experience with free versions ;-)

Would it be overkill for someone like me?

Yup.

I thought the payware version was worth paying for....so I did. The
latest version includes a Bayesian filtering type ability and seems to
be working fairly well. Handy if one hasn't got any existing Bayesian
setup.

I have used many emailers/filters but the speed/convenience of
Mailwasher keeps it ahead of most others IMO.

Have you considered any other options? I used Mailwasher for quite a while
and went as far as registering it. I tried K9 one day though and haven't
gone back to Mailwasher in over a year, maybe more. I do have to download
the mail but all the spam gets moved to a spam folder before deletion. It
works very well and seems smoother than the Mailwasher option.

When a mailbox contains several megabytes of virus files I do not want
them anywhere near my computer thanks. I'll stick with MailWasher. The
time saved is money saved for those of us still on dial-up.

No problem. One of my addresses gets about 120 spams a day, loads of which
contain viruses. K9 just moves them all to the spam folder for deletion.
As I never open them I don't get viruses. I'm on dialup too by the way.

My point is that MailWasher deletes the files from the server. They
never even touch my computer and I do not have to pay for the download
time of megabytes of data I would delete anyway. I can check my mail,
today I had two valid e-mails out of 25 (my ISP filters the SPAM for
nothing), download news headers and bodies, answer a couple of quick
queries like this and be offline in less than fifteen minutes. Total
cost <$0.50 including the phone call. If I had to wait for several
megs of virus to download I would be looking at half an hour or more.

Yip very true. I'd use it again if I was getting several MB of viruses.
