Been thinking of getting this program--have heard it seems to be reasonably effective--because since I got a msn mail account so I can use NetMeeting, & MSMessenger, I've been getting spammed from that msn E account to my mindspring E box, and its rather annoying to say the least!
:
1 ... It can be used with msn Hotmail I gather, any special problems I should be aware of when trying to set up "Mail Washer"? Assume there's thing's to watch out for since I go directly to the ,msn box at times to clean it out, & don't use "Outlook Express 5.50 to do so.
:
2 ... what other problems should users be aware of when setting the program up & running it the first time??

The Tutorial at the mailwasher site is very comprehensive and it should answer all your questions.

http://www.mailwasher.net/tutorial.php

Go for it, it's a great program!

I have to admit that I fumbled my way through trying to setup MailWasher. I made sure that I downloaded the latest version that handles Hotmail. I read the tutorial and tried to install the program again. But I continue to get this message: The computer currently has no connection to the internet and MailWasher is unable to create one. Yes I am connected to the internet with DSL when I get the message.
I am at a lost as to what to do. (...help please).

I had a problem with Mailwasher showing that I was not on the internet, though I clearly was. I called Sympatico & they gave me the solution.
Go to http://www1.sympatico.ca/help/local/bell/download/download.html
Click on PATCHES on the far right.
The Patch you need is #6.
I downloaded it & saved it & then activated it.
Like Magic, my mailwasher is up & running again.....

But if that patch helped you, you must have had the same problems with Internet Explorer, and not just with Mailwasher

Here's the corresponding MS article:

Error Message When You Try to Use Internet Explorer: No Connection to the Internet Is Currently Available:

Yes, occasionally a small window would pop up telling me there was no connection, but it was never as troublesome as the one not permitting me to use Mailwasher.
I am using IE6, but the Patch is actually an IE5 one.

I don't believe the version of IE makes a difference as far as this patch is concerned.

But whatever does the job, I'd say!

Yes, occasionally I have gotten a pop up window telling me there was no connection to the internet while using IE6...And it was only a minor annoyance, so hopefully now that I have applied the patch it will fix that. But the magic did not happen with the MailWasher and the patch.
Bummer..I will keep trying.
I sent an email to the MailWasher.net folks about the problem. Hopefully I will hear from them soon. Then I will post their reply(especially if it works).

Thanks

Hainespa

ps...Oops! I just got one of those pop up windows that says that I was not connected to the internet..(again)..

So I guess the patch did not work for that, huh?

Now what do I do?...

I'd just send an e-mail to Mailwasher support, or post at the board at Computercops.

I'm sure a solution will materialize.
