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 5.8.5.3849
"User since IncMail's start. Needs Major Improvement(s)"
Pros: I like being able to create letters,animations,sounds, which I use all. Have hundreds if not thousands of all. Lots of fun learning to create stationery and animations with the help of Paint Shop Pro. People LOVE getting them.
Cons: POOR CUSTOMER SERV.assistance. Very Bad. Program needs major revamping. Ie: Set it up more like a word processor. It has no margin sets,caps to small letters button, Very difficult to change over from one to another computer. Poor tech assistance.
Summary: I like Incredimail for what it does, creates stationery, sounds, animations. Allows creativity. It has changed very little as for the "Look" and functions. Needs major improvement set to word processing options for typing. Margin sets, and the like.... read more >>

Version: IncrediMail Xe 5.8.5.3849
"not recommeded for users with immense emails."
Pros: nice graphics, beautiful colours and ease of use.Has got good features.
Cons: backing up of large email data is a chore.
Summary: If your data grows in size,which I suspect may be the cause,your incoming mails may lose its contents and attacchments.Reloading the program and clearing the data does not help either.Right now,i am looking around for a more reliable email browser.

Version: IncrediMail Xe 5.8.5.3849
"After 9 years, I still would never switch."
Pros: I Love Incredimail!'Have had it for many years. I find it very easy to use, uncluttered, easy to read. I don't use the animations, but I love the format.
Cons: About my only complaint was when I had the free version, my friends didn't like the animations on the bottom of my emails. But, with a coupon, I was able to sign on for only $19. It's well worth it!!
Summary: Even with the free version, it has a very clean look with hardly any advertisments. Such a pleasure to use!
