How to use the message table |

Just like your email client, each line in the MailWasher Pro message table represents an email message. You can customize the information displayed about the message in each of the information columns, for example, it’s size, priority, status and which account it was sent to (if you have multiple email accounts). You can also select the option to delete, report or blacklist email messages from the message table and use the keyboard shortcut [C] if you want to clear the message table.

Clicking [C] to clear the message table does not delete any messages, it merely clears the message table grid in MailWasher Pro.

The message table status bar shows information about the current actions being performed by MailWasher Pro. It tells you when MailWasher Pro is connecting to servers, downloading headers, deleting and bouncing messages, as well as how recently mail was last checked.

displays only when you have selected to have MailWasher Pro check the origin of your messages against DNS spam blacklist servers. Click if you want to cancel this check. For more information, see How to set up Origin of spam.

For more information about configuring the information columns and the appearance of the message table, see Setting up Options - Display.
