Hi CoJo,
I scan my email servers with MailWasher pro prior to downloading my mail as well.
The major reason I like MailWasher is, you can delete spam/suspicious email directly from the server and don’t have to download them to filter or virus check, etc. You can also fire off a quick reply (plain text) without having to download the email first. You could even delete the email from the server if you didn’t want to keep a copy on your computer.
One other reason I don’t use the preview pane and read offline is. If for any reason a spam email gets past MailWasher Pro, many spam messages have some form of tracking (usually a 1pixle image) that calls back home. This confirms that the email address is good and you are likely to see a rise in spam.
