IncrediMail

I used Incredimail for a long time. A trucking buddy of mine sent me a link and i was hooked. I liked sending little smiley faces and what not during the different seasons. When I changed computers about 9 years ago my premium account somehow got downloaded to the basic account. I couldn't find where I had paid for the premium service so I just used the basic format as most people had gotten out of sending emails and were sending texts instead. It didn't seem to be as cluttered with crappy ads popping up all over the place as yahoo mail does. About 2 years ago I started having problems with the system crashing and asking the user to download the new version all the time. With the hours I was working back then I barely had time to check my email much less download new programs. I switched to Gmail since it was quicker and had fewer crash issues.

I've been using Incredimail for years, ever since it came out. Overall Incredimail has been a good program to use when you use email a lot. There are 2 versions of Incredimail. The FREE version is FREE, with ads & Incredimail Plus Version, the version you pay $24.95 for & it's worth the update. With Incredimail Plus you get all the following:

1. No Advertisements displayed in IncrediMail Plus
2. No Promotional Tag at the bottom of Outgoing Messages
3. Different Skins/Wallpapers - You change the way your IncrediMail emails look.
4. VIP Support - If you have an issue, you will get answers fast.
5. IncrediBackup - A powerful Backup tool for your IncrediMail program. This is a great program to use. It backups all you folders, files, emails addresses. Just click on which email address to backup & it does the rest. Easy to use. Can easily save to hard drives, external drives or flash drives.

When Windows 10 came out, the update really messed up the Incredimail start up. In fact, I would have to restart Incredimail 4-6 times before it finally worked & it was major pain. However, that issue got resolved when I updated it to Incredimail Plus. With Incredimail Plus, it also gets all my emails from Gmail, Yahoo & Hotmail at once. All emails go to Incredimail which saves you a lot of time. On average I get between 200-300 emails a day which includes some spam, a lot of business & personal. But with Incredimail I just check them all at once scroll down & see who it is from & the subject line & uncheck the ones I want to keep,,,all the others I leave checked get deleted. Once deleted, they go into a folder called "Deleted Items". This way, if you accidentally delete the wrong email, you can retrieve it, which is a good safe backup. Then when done, I click "Empty Deleted Items" & that's it. All those emails are gone.

Instead of writing or reading an email with a white background, why not have one with your own company logo, the name of the day on the top, a picture of you, your kids, when sending an email to grandma or grandpa. In other words, with Incredimail Plus, you can make your email personal. The "GOLD Gallery" has a lot to offer so not every email is the same.

This program used to be dynamite! I registered it about 4 years ago. Since then over the years I have migrated to several new versions of Windows. The latest, Vista, will not let me operate Incredimail correctly. And the customer service has been giving me the usual run around. Now they say it is a Internet Explorer problem. So I should contact Microsoft. Yeah, right. So I am giving up on this piece of junk I paid for, and using freebies
