If you're upgrading from the old MailWasher Pro it will mostly be a seamless process, but you'll want to take a note of the following:
1. | MailWasher Pro will not run on Windows 98, Me or 2000. It will only run on Windows XP, Vista, 7, 8 and above. |
2. | All your contacts, most settings and email account information will be imported. |
3. | Your existing MailWasher Pro registration key will not work in later versions of MailWasher Pro after 6.54 |
4. | Your filters will not be imported in to MailWasher Pro. Unfortunately they will be required to be re-written due to many changes in the way filters are evaluated and setup. |
5. | 'Process Mail' is now 'Wash Mail' |
6. | Spam tools now use a weighted approach to recognizing spam, so instead of just one spam tool making the decision about whether an email is spam or not, all spam tools are evaluated to ensure a more accurate evaluation. |
7. | User files are now held in a database (as opposed to text files and the Registry) with other settings such as language files for translations held as XML files, all accessible via Help>>User Files or Help>>Common Files. |
8. | Your old MailWasher Pro 500 digit license key will not work with the new MailWasher Pro as it has a 12 digit license key. You will need to purchase a new license key for MailWasher Pro after 6.54. |
