I wasn't sure where to go for this question. I right now am using Yahoo as
my mail server. This ad for "incredimail" came up and looked pretty
interesting, but I hesitate to go to a new mail server without knowing
anything about it.
Anyone here know anything about it?
Thanks.
It doesn't seem to be harmful, but there were some issues with previous
versions. For example, it encourages you to use fancy backgrounds,
animations, etc. within your emails, which can look interesting, but adds
significantly to the size of the emails you send. If the person receiving
the mail has broadband, that might not be an issue, but someone with dial-up
may not appreciate having your fancy backgrounds clogging their mail.
In addition, the fancy input may not display properly, so that the person
getting the mail may not see what you intend.
And last, there were some reports that while it's blissfully easy to import
your messages, mail, settings, and contact list from Outlook or Outlook
Express, there's no easy way to go the other direction. So if you decide not
to use it, switching back can be a problem.
I don't know anyone who has used it recently, so perhaps some issues have
been cleared up, but it always struck me as the email equivalent of high
school girls using scented, glittery ink. It's decorative, but not
particularly useful.
