IncrediMail 2

Pros

• Wide variety of options for content
• Easy to set up for use

Cons

• Many advertisements

If you are tired of the same, drab email interface, IncrediMail is a program that can liven up the appearance of your average mailbox. IncrediMail employs the use of lively backgrounds, hordes of emoticons, and a variety of animations, widgets, and buttons to make your email station more cheerful.

IncrediMail sacrifices email functionality for appearance. All the features are centered on making your emails and inbox more exciting visually while there are no extra features to enhance or further the workings of the interface or the effectiveness of the emails. At times, we can even see the functionality noticeably decrease in favor of what is aesthetically pleasing.

This software is easy to use and can be unified with many different email platforms in no time at all. It works with the web's most popular providers including Gmail, Yahoo, Hotmail, and AOL Mail. Setting up the system with your email provider is a matter of following a few simple directions provided after a few clicks initiating the installation process. You will still be able to use the basic email functions provided by your platform including the option to group and search through your messages.

Understanding the software is easy, especially now that the creators of the service have included a quick introduction guide that helps users learn the functions of the program.

Although most of the available effects are set to be applied to the platform of your email service, several of the effects can actually be used when creating your emails. For example, you can adjust your settings to include sounds when you type an email and specified noises when you open, delete, or create new messages. Additionally, when you receive a new email, you can opt to be notified with the use of an emoticon or other fun graphic. There are dozens of different options to choose from when it comes to these graphics.

Though there a couple of bugs that should be ironed out, for the most part, the service runs smoothly and there are no real technical errors involved with the program. However, the worst part of using the program is the copious amount of advertisements that are placed all over. The only way to get rid of these advertisements for good is to subscribe to a higher version of the program, which will cost you.
