This section of the main work area comprises of three tabs:

Friends List

Blacklist

Filters

Friends List

The Friends List contains the email addresses of people whom you always want to receive mail from, regardless of the content. Messages received from an address on your Friends List are marked as Friend, regardless of whether or not the message resembles spam. See How to set up My Friends list.

Blacklist

The Blacklist gives you an easy way to banish spammers from your inbox. Once an address is marked for your Blacklist, the next time you receive an email from that address, it is automatically marked for deletion. The Blacklist is an effective tool against email from mailing lists that you may have unwittingly signed up for (or been submitted to) and from companies who take no notice of your unsubscribe requests. See How to set up My Blacklist.

Filters

Filters allow you to define what MailWasher Pro tags as spam like email or legitimate email. You can specify certain words or combinations of words or use Regular Expression filters that automatically trigger a categorization from MailWasher Pro. See How to set up My Filters.
