Mail Washer

There is a newer version (beta) of Mail Washer available that will work with Hotmail, and (I think) AOL. If you're not familiar with it, it's a piece of software that allows you to see what kind of mail is waiting on the server before you download it. It's a big help with spam and viruses, by alerting you as to a suspicious piece of mail. You have the option to delete or bounce any mail before downloading. Check out the link for a screenshot, and download link.

There's an even newer version (still beta) at the MailWasher site. The site says it does not yet support AOL.

Good catch Jeanie. I stand corrected. Support for AOL is coming, but is not yet available.

My Sis on AOL reports that the latest version of AOL (is it 8??) does a good job of washing mail, so an AOL version of MailWasher may not be necessary.
