Reviewed by: CNET Staff
This interactive program lets you create and monitor your child's e-mail accounts. After installation, you'll be directed to www.kidsmail.net to create parent and child accounts. Setup is quick and easy, and you can customize the program to your preferences. KidMail's fun interface offers several themed areas complete with animated characters and sound effects for children to click and manage their account. E-mails from unknown senders are automatically sent to your provided e-mail account and are subject to your approval. Each child account can be password-protected for privacy among siblings and help is available online. KidMail gives you 14 days to try it out and is a somewhat sizeable download at 14 MBs. Even so, it's easy to use and works well in protecting your kids from predators and inappropriate ads and content.Publisher's description
From Trustworthy Communication :KidMail E-mail for Kids is a fun, interactive e-mail program designed for kids from preschool through 4th grade. It is intended for use with the 'KidMail.net' Safe Spam Free E-Mail Service (a free trial account on KidMail.net is created after download). The KidMail E-mail for Kids software will also work with any POP3/SMTP e-mail service (online registration is required for this upgrade; no additional download is needed). KidMail has five engaging themes: Dinosaurs, Haunted House, Tropical Island, Outer Space, and Secret Agent. As your child matures, an address book transfer option is available from the KidMail software to Outlook Express or IncrediMail (our recommended client for older kids). Note: KidMail.net ensures that no spam or inappropriate communication reaches children. Parents also control who is allowed to communicate. The KidMail E-mail for Kids software when used with any other POP3 service relies on antispam and anti-virus protections of that service.

Version: KidMail 4.02
Pros: Good when it worked.
Cons: Service was unavailable for many months. Messages would not come through. Numerous e-mails did nothing and I had already paid for a year. When the year was up, suddenly the service is no longer "jammed" and e-mails come through, AND I get charged another 30 bucks!
