I have two filters set on MailWasher Pro, which are:

1. Undisclosed Recipients

2. Not to Me

I am getting email, which is addressed to me but it is showing up in the status column as "Not to Me". As a result I have to go through and make sure that everything flagged as blacklisted should be. When I change the status to Friends, I still have to unclick this message in the delete, bounce and blacklist columns.

As it happens these are comic strips which are sent to me every day. I have tried changing the status to friends but the messages continue to come through with the status of "Not to Me".

Thanks,

Check the Not To Me filter is not selected to take precedence over the friends list.

RusticDog,

I may be dense but I do not understand your answer.

The email message is addressed to me, personally, so it doesn't even qualify under the "Not to Me" criteria.

Then when I try to bypass this problem, and change the status field on the email message from "Not to Me" to Friends, I can do this.... But the next time that I get an email message from this sender, it is again marked as "Not to Me".

It seems like to me that the first issue, is why is the "Not to Me" filter flagging email, which is addressed to me?

Cheers,

Can you post your filter from your filters.txt file ?

Also there is a bug in current build, where not exiting Mailwasher before a reboot can cause all additions to friends list/blacklist to be lost. Make sure you exit Mailwasher manually to update teh file correctly. This issue is being addressed in the next release.

I went looking for the filters.txt file and in the process of trying to find it, I discovered that I had not configured the "Not to Me" filter. I had assumed that MailWasher knew what my valid email addresses were (based on the "accounts" information. Unfortunately, this was not a valid assumption.

However, this would be a nice feature to add in the future.

Then I discovered that what you wanted me to do was to copy and paste the information in the "Not to Me" filter.

Anyway, I think that this problem is solved. Thanks.

Cheers,
