I use Mailwasher everyday. I have the old original freeware version that supports multiple accounts rather than just one as the current freeware version does.
Their Pro version ($37.00) supports multiple accounts...which is what I think you'll need.

It works pretty simply. Here's a screen shot of the interface:

All you do is add accounts by giving the POP server name then user name and password. You can select to view all mail messages for all accounts or just specific accounts. When you do, it looks at the POP server and shows the messages. Delete them, blacklist them by filling in check boxes next to each message....or do nothing. When you click the Process Mail button it performs the appropriate action. You can also preview the emails if you like but it doesn't handle HTML and will only show you the body of the message in text if it exists that way.
When you click the Mail Program button, Mailwasher will launch your email client...if you use one and provide the path to the program. Technically speaking, you can use the email provider's web interface and do the same thing but Mailwasher lets you do it all from one screen...without downloading any messages to your machine.

I think that about covers it. Any other questions, lemme know.

I use OE for now. Only because I have 30,000 plus archived emails and it takes time to convert them to text.

So, Mailwasher will work through email clients, right? How 'bout right clicking an email and selecting black list this sender or ip or?, can I do that? Can I remove someone from a blacklist the same way? Or do I have to stop what I'm doing and open the mailwasher interface and add an ip or domain or ? to it's list, then save and close, and then close and re-open my email client?

What I just described is the procedure for AVG's anti spam, I hate doing that. I also hate, and this applies to AVG and ZoneAlarm, that when a program update comes in, I have to download the "free" version, and upgrade it to the paid for version. Gosh, I'm becoming a hater, aren't I?

Thanks for your input.
