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 5.7 build 3613
Pros: I like the options for emails.
Cons: It didn't work well. I don't know if it's because I'm running Vista or not. It didn't import all my folders. Just just the inbox. So I just removed it.

Version: IncrediMail Xe 5.7 build 3613
"JUNK - loads garbage all over the place, will not fully uninstall"
Cons: Loads crap everywhere, loads startup junk, leaves behind trojans to reinstall itself after you run the uninstall. Had to uninstall AND run registry cleaner to get rid of it.

Version: IncrediMail Xe 5.7 build 3613
"Super-Fun-Emails, doing it for over ten years, Great Program & Support"
Pros: Makes e-mails a lot more interesting and fun for both you and the receiver. Can also be valuable as a business tool. All kinds of opportunities to find individuals who create IncrediMail Stationary (letters) that you can 'pick up' for free and use in your IncrediMails.
Cons: Now that fix for use with Vista is in place we're back in good shape. Have no issues at this time.

Version: IncrediMail Xe 5.7 build 3613
Pros: I've used Incredimail for more than 6 years and I really enjoy it. It is easy to use, has a good search feature and you can create your own backgrounds for letters and tickle your recipients with music, sounds, animations, and pretty pictures.
Cons: You need to keep your email available on its original server, because you cannot access your work from other computers. It is a fancy way of sending emails but cannot substituted for your principle email address, although everything transfers easily.
