You can't. You can, by devious means, export your messages and finally after
some convoluted procedures, import them into Outlook.

You don't "use" one e-mail client inside of another. You pick one and then
use that one.


Incredimail - The choice of immature, irresponsible, and ignorant e-mail
users

Incredimail is the choice of immature e-mail users, those that need to hide
the fact that they have little substance in the content of their message and
need to fluff it up with extraneous style and extra garbage. Or maybe you
are a marketer or spammer and that's why you need to bloat your messages:
little to say so use something to enlarge it. Sure, yeah, your recipients
want e-mails that are ten times larger than necessary and bloated with fluff
backgrounds, music, gifs, and other non-essential crap. A simple 2KB
message will bloat up to 55KB, or worse. Are you trying to irritate your
recipients that still use dial-up by making them wait longer to receive your
bloated mails? You'll find anything you have in Incredimail, like contacts,
will be hard or impossible to get out once you decide to leave it.

Use a good e-mail program. Incredimail isn't one of them. If you decide to
continue using it, expect some of your recipients to block that crap-ridden
mail or even have it tagged as spam if you send many mails to the same
domain, especially for short messages since the fluff crap will constitute
most of the message and be seen as the major content of all those repetitive
e-mails. Also, you may find your recipients don't appreciate getting
childish content. The HTML coding it employs is awful, and it is highly
likely that most if not all of your e-mails don't even require being sent as
HTML messages (which, at a minimum, doubles the size of your mails to
provide an HTML copy and a plain-text copy assuming that Incredimail follows
the RFC standards which wouldn't be a surprise if they don't).

Be a responsible and considerate email sender. Don't use Incredimail which
emphasizes style over content; i.e., you waste the recipient's time,
bandwidth, and disk space with fluff. Once you decide it is crap, you'll be
back asking how to uninstall it. ISPs or e-mail providers will support only
one or few e-mail clients (to minimize the training or expertise required by
their techs since the operation of the e-mail client is not their concern
but only in the settings needed for it to use their e-mail service). Don't
expect any to help you with Incredimail. From what I read, don't even
expect Incredimail to help you with Incredimail. Did you even see a FAQ or
help page at their web site? Well, there is a very, VERY minimal help page
but no link to it from their main page (go hunting on their other web pages
and look at the bottom for a list of links).

When I send e-mail, I expect only my mail server to get it and deliver it to
the recipient. However, with Incredimail, it also connects to them to send
information about your use of Incredimail. Read
http://email.about.com/cs/incredimailtips/qt/et063003.htm. Doesn't anyone
bother to read their, um, "policies"
(http://www.incredimail.com/english/privacy.asp)? They announce that they
will collect info regarding your e-mails. Oh no, they're not spyware but
they DO collect info on your e-mails. Sure, they don't spy, uh huh - but
they DO spy. An e-mail client should only be connecting to the user's mail
server, not to Incredimail's server, too. They would like to redefine the
term "spyware" to not include themself. People got enraged with Gmail doing
that to provide targeted marketing. No email program should track your
email (date & time, how many times you use their program, which pictures you
used) and store this marketing data on a server located in a foreign country
- but Incredimail does. They admit that they collect info about your sent
e-mails which means a data collection and transmission mechanism is already
incorporated into their e-mail client. With that link between your computer
and their server, they can collect any information you enter into their
email program, including the contents of your mails, mail servers, and even
passwords. They *promise* not to interrogate the contents of your e-mails
but the mechanism is already there to send them whatever they want, and they
already openly admit to spying on you. The data is stored on their servers
in Israel. Do you know the privacy laws there? Have you ever dealt with
Israeli companies?

From their site, "IncrediMail relies on two platforms to make an income; 1)
the sale of its software products and 2) advertisement via the Status Window
in the application and on the Web site." So either you buy it from them or
you choose to use their adware (ads in their Status window). Not only do
they spew ads in your face but they also append their "promotional" spam
signature at the end of every one of your outbound e-mails. Free accounts
at Yahoo and Hotmail do that, too, and why I will receive from their service
but I will NOT send through it. Instead use your own ISP's SMTP server to
send your outbound mails. However, if you use the free Incredimail client,
you spew spam in every one of your outbound mails. Do you think your
recipients really appreciate getting Incredimail's ugly advertisement at the
end of your mails? You think your e-mails look professional with someone's
spam tacked onto the end of it (in addition to all the fluff they add to
bloat the size of your e-mails)? Are you devoted to producing amateurish
e-mails?

So here is crapware that severely bloats the size of mails, used by children
and spammers to hide that there is little content in their mails, spies on
your mails, spews ads in your face (unless you buy it although other *good*
e-mail clients are free), and spamifies your outbound e-mails. Sometimes it
is difficult to believe that so many adults are so gullible and also such
irresponsible e-mailers.


--- Posting Hints ---

ALWAYS REVIEW your message before submitting it. You want someone OTHER
than yourself to understand your post. Also remember that no one here is
looking over your shoulder to see at what you are pointing. If you don't
well explain your situation by providing the DETAILS that you already know,
don't expect others to know what is your situation. Explain YOUR computing
environment and just what actions you take to reproduce the problem.

Often you get just one chance per potential respondent to elicit a reply
from them. If they skip your post because you gave them nothing to go on
(no details, no versions, no OS, no context) then they will usually move on
to the next post and never return to yours.

When using a webnews-for-dummies interface (e.g., Microsoft's Communities,
Google Groups, or a leech site using a forum-to-Usenet proxy), those are
gateways to Usenet. Despite the pretense of a forum, you are participating
in a newsgroup (aka Usenet).

Regarding error or status messages:
- Do NOT omit the message.
- Do NOT describe the message.
- Do NOT summarize the message.
- Do NOT paraphrase the message.
- Do NOT truncate the message.
- Do show the ENTIRE message (but munge or star out personal info,
like your username in an e-mail address but not the domain).
And DETAIL the steps to reproduce the error or problem.
