Mailwasher Pro and Hot-Key Scripting Concerns
Mailwasher Pro working in Puppy 212
As an experiment, I downloaded the Linux version of Mailwasher (the Sarge version) and then used MU's debian installer. You have to load a few deb files for the missing dependencies (again using the debian installer), and then it works.
It's not as pretty as the Windows version, and it looks like it might be an earlier version but it's very effective. I've been suffering from a lot of spam recently, so it is very useful to have something operating at the server level, and only downloading clean emails.
Here's a screenshot - the last two emails in the list are junk. My friends are shown with a green tick against them. The pane on the right shows the email details of your friends (I've obscured these). I'm running the 30 day free trial at present.
