IncrediMail

Well, I downloaded it, the FREE account (otherwise under $30. per year and ad free). I have heard so many people RAVE on about this service, I took a chance and am trying it. Then there are just as many saying "get rid of it".

I thought it would make a nice newsletter for some of my "peeps".
I also liked adding a voice message to it also -- some of my "peeps" would like that. I attached it to a limited low use Yahoo account of mine.

The program does not work with HotMail or Outlook Express. (You can use HoTpOp.) They don't tell you that until AFTERWARDS then you have to change it (add or delete as many accounts you wish under the tool bar --> accounts).

I only took a few of the stationary they offered. I don't need much.
I don't plan on using all those little emoticons or sounds effects increasing the size of an email.
I thought the little slide show they had on use and the FAQ were done well.

So you log in -- open up your account, select which email account (I only have one, but you can have as many as you like to use the service.) choose your stationary that you selected, and type away, then send your message.

Then I really woke up and start thinking --if I use the stationary, that would mean that the file size (graphics) of the email I sent may be HUGE.
Although, now most accounts can hold larger files, but still, some may look at it and delete it even if it is from YOU someone they know.
Maybe it might end up in the spam folder because each message has ADS on it.
And if you send a note to the teacher, most school webservers don't allow this sort of stuff and it will never make it there.

Then I find out that it is actually Spywear!
And after that I find out that the download program can be hard to remove -- read how to remove IncrediMail, frustrating issues with Incredimail, what you need to know, plus more bugs, comments and opinions.

Well, I will wait for "Jeeves" to announce an email has arrived and see what happens. I always wanted Jeeves in my life. He is suppose to walk across the screen and announce you've got mail (on a shiny silver platter!). I will email myself to see if he stops by to announce then refresh my drink.
I think it may be off my system in a short time if I wish to give up Jeeves.

In the meantime -- some IncrediMail Tips and Tricks

It is times like this, I miss all the stationary that HotMail once had and got rid of, oh so long ago.

Update: Removed the darn annoying program. It did not work very well.
