CNET editors' review
Reviewed by: CNET Staff
With its straightforward interface and whimsical attitude, IncrediMail appeals to the casual e-mailer, but actually offers enough features--like Exchange server support--to be functional for more serious endeavors. You can personalize your messages with background stationery from a variety of categories, including animals, art, technology, and moods. The program installs with about 50 backgrounds, most with a cartoony feel, and you can download more online or create your own with Letter Creator (a 10-use trial comes with this download). It supports recorded voice attachments, and the premium version supports skins.
There are a few drawbacks. The overall interface lacks pizazz and looks like it was last overhauled back when emoticons were new. There's a questionnaire that must be filled out when installing the program, annoying even at three questions long. More significantly, IncrediMail turns into quite the resource pig when playing around with graphics-heavy backgrounds.
The features are solid, though. The program offers basic e-mail client functions, including sending, receiving, and organizing messages; managing your address book; and creating rules for how to handle certain messages. Among its other included features are an integrated JunkFilter that lets you assign permission for senders or domains, IMAP support via a POP3 emulator, and Message Rules functions that work in concert with JunkFilter. IncrediMail makes standard e-mail a bit more fun for home users, especially for kids and kids at heart.

Version: IncrediMail Xe 5.70 build 3295
"Ok, but....read Agreements carefully if you buy!"
Pros: I love Incredimail and have used the free version for years, I finally broke down and bought the email, Gold and Junk Mail Filter.
Cons: I somehow missed the part in the agreement on the Junk Mail Filter, that says they don't have to tell you they are raising the renewal price, that it's time to renew and that they will deduct the renewal price from your bank account without notice. How do you say OVERDRAW - and they don't care they just point you back to the agreement. So your bank account isn't yours when it comes to them taking money out! BEWARE!

Version: IncrediMail Xe 5.70 build 3295
"livable, but with some issues"
Pros: It is great in a lot of ways, but could be streamlined in terms of the amount of resources it uses. Outlook comes no way near it.
Cons: My personal issue come about because more and more ISP are now securing their sites and if you use more than one provider (ADSL at home with Exetel and Wireless broadband with Vodafone when on the road) I cannot use my home Email because exetel won't let me use their email via a different provider. Outlook has a "from" line when sending emails and you can pick which email to use prior to writing one. It would be great if incredimail if incredimail had the same.

Version: IncrediMail Xe 5.70 build 3295
"No good for widescreen.....Don't pay for it..."
Cons: Ok first of all the software has issues if you have widescreen...it has a space at the top that looks unsightly. I paid for premium and the gold gallery and got no reply to my emails about this even though Incredimail claims to give extra fast service to paid members. That's rubbish. They didn't even answer. I paid out over $60 for this software only to have it look horrid and not work properly...and as far as the gold gallery...the content is LAME...not worth the money they ask!
Major Rip off if you ask me....I'm filing a report with Rip Off Report and the BBB over this one...sick of dealing with incredimail.
Oh and once you install the software you have to pay an extra $49.95 for the spam filter...that use to be free but once I updated the software to see if they fixed the widescreen issue after a few months....the spam filter was a 'paid add on'....
More money.....More Money....total rip off.

Version: IncrediMail Xe 5.70 build 3295
Pros: Sorry.
Cons: I have nothing good to say about this software. Unfortunately, I also paid for the program. You can't get your money back. You are supposed to get a higher level of support. Not. Good luck. I'm going back to my good, old Hotmail account.
