Immediately obvious are the sharp icons, rich colors, subtle animations and the new layouts which give MailWasher a fresh "2010" look.

However, the most important change is how these aspects work together to reduce complexity and help you get more done, faster.

Tabbed navigation, simplified toolbars, organized settings screens, enhanced mail grid and preview and a context sensitive side bar are only a few of the major improvements the new interface has undergone.

Smarter spam detection and evaluation breakdowns
[quote]Emails are now evaluated using a more accurate weighted system.

Previously, MailWasher would pass emails through each spam tool one by one and as soon as it found a match it would be evaluated accordingly. The problem with this method is there are always cases when an individual spam tool can get it wrong.

For example: It's very common for spammers to disguise their email as if it came from a friend or sometimes even yourself so an evaluation that only relies on the friends list will get it wrong.

With the weighted system, this is no longer an issue because all spam tools are used together to form an overall score or "spam rating" which then determines the emails evaluation.

By clicking on the "Evaluations" button within the sidebar, you also get full contextual information with regards to what spam tools have been triggered by the selected email and a display of the exact overall score so you know exactly why it's been evaluated the way it has.
Friends, blacklisted emails and filters are highlighted contextually
You can see at a glance which spam tools were triggered and their spam score for each email

Improved Startup time when loading large Friends and Blacklists
