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.

Anyone else use this?
What is your take?

I don't have any experience with it but from what you wrote I may never want too.

My mother-in-law uses it. At first, Jeeves is very cute, but it doesn't take long before he becomes annoying.

Yes, after the fact, I am beginning to think that!
There is a lesson in all we do.

Good point - if you have a busy account, then he can be annoying and you might want to throw day old fish at him and tell him to find something better to do.

That is why I am trying it with a low use Yahoo account -- I don't get too much mail there so he won't be hanging around much because he has better things to do, like polishing that silver tray till it is so shiny, you are blinded by the glare!

WOW -- I did not realize that this is the longest winded post I have had in a LONG TIME!

Better get talking on that system to my peeps to try it out.

I bet my daughter, who refers to me as being a "digital immigrant" will have PLENTY to say to me about this "foolishness" (getting an account).

Right, and not for me either.
Sadly, my daughter informed I could not do voice since this computer is "outdated". LOL -- Guess 5 minutes after we bought it, a 100 new models were on the shelf that were bigger and better!

Jeeves stood me up also.
My heart is broken. When there is no Jeeves, there is no mail, even what I sent to myself.

Woe is me.

Oops ~ that should have been "or just it throw out?"

Whatever ~ it is not always to just 'throw it out' either ~ I hope you don't have too many problems with this.

Enjoy your Mother's Day weekend!
