I use MailWasher to read e-mail headers before downloading those which I want. It is configured to launch Thunderbird (my default e-mail prog) after processing the e-mails. After processing the Thunderbird application is displayed but e-mails are not automatically downloaded. I check Outlook Express and there they all are! Please, anyone any ideas? I have re-installed Thunderbird and MailWasher - still the same problem.

Just had a problem with mailwasher over the weekend. When you uninstall it leaves your account settings on the pc. So when you reinstall Mailwasher all the settings are exactly the same. Try to remove all traces of Mailwasher and then reinstalling it.
Unfortunately - nothing! Have removed the programme and re-installed - does exactly the same thing. IcemanSA had a similar problem, he recommends removing all traces (registry etc...??) will give that a try. Do you use a reader for only the headers before downloading ?
Tried the setting in the server settings - yes it does only download the headers.....Now I've got picky. After a few downloads of e-mail and spam, it became painful deleting the spam - Mailwasher allowed u to blacklist, bounce, delete an e-mail and remember to delete files from the same address in the future...Again tks..
TB do have junkmail controls. In the options menu, there is settings for what to do with junkmail. You'll have to show it, what junk are, and what not. So first move mails marked as junk to a separate folder, and delete those after a week, which should give you enough time to rescue any real mail.
You can mark mail as spam, and all mail from that address will then be spam from then onwards, if I'm correct. I haven't seen spam in a while, so it's hard to remember
