I like this program and am encouraged by it. I hope the developer continues to work on it. It seems to be very similar to POPmonitor which is a shareware app I've used for years, but the developer has abandoned. MyPopBarrier has a good basic start on replacing POPmonitor.
There are a number of things that would make this an outstanding app:
(1) Make filters account specific or general. I want to purge certain email from one of my accounts, but not from another. This means I cannot set up a simple filter that applies to both accounts. What would be nice is an option to select which accounts to apply the filter so that it could be applied to one, two, all, or ay number in-between.
(2) Allow grep filters. This is indispensable. I cannot properly filter out the spam without grep.
(3) Boy does this app require processing power! I'm running it on a brand new MacBook Pro 2.4GHz with 4GB RAM, and when I picked up the mail for one of my email accounts that had 421 emails, both of my processors were racing and the fans kicked in full blast. This app should NOT be used by anyone with a Mac that already has heat issues. This also made me wonder just how long it would take if I was trying to use this app on my old PowerBook G4?
(4) Multiple Selection ability. I honestly do not want to double-click 50 emails independently. I need to be able to select all 50 emails and then mark them to be purged (red dot).
In general, the app needs some interface cleaning up, but as I said before, it's a good start. And I can't complain given the price. I'm just hopeful that this developer will move forward to develop this into a really nice app since all the other developers seem to have abandoned theirs. I find this kind of app to be indispensable.
