It's not going to suit everyone, but it's accuracy is wonderful. I get an inbox with nothing but genuine mail in it, so only get notified when I have genuine mail arriving
The quarantine folder can be scanned whenever you want very quickly for any strays.
It's the simplicity that appeals. The idea of a 'whitelist' is just common sense. Approves know senders and quarantines anything else. All the systems like mailwasher use blacklist (useless, cos the spammers change addresses each time) and/or try to analyse the content to see if it is wanted or not, which is just never going to be entirely accurate.
Lots of people on these forums have deinstalled Mailwasher because it's challenge mode appears to increase spam (Qurb has this facility, but it's not turned on by default, and I wouldn't recommend it personally) If you like Mailwasher, then stay with it, but I much prefer Qurb - I don't have to look at headers before downloading as only genuine mail appears in my inbox. I can deal with the quarantine file when I have time, and because I can do a day or two's in one hit it only takes seconds to scan the headers and senders addresses and approve any I want to keep.
