    Straight to the point

    I have been using IM for more than 8 years. I am a paying member (so I have lifetime priveledges, except for the spam filter).

    ONCE UPON A TIME THE PROGRAM WAS GOOD. That is why I had tested it and then payed for my membership.

    In the meantime it has become something else entirely.

    The SPAM FILTER function (which you have to pay for) is USELESS. It lets so many things through, does not learn and is a great waste of money. My free Yahoo account is far, far superior.

    As a lifetime payed member there should be no advertisement on the outgoing emails. SURPRISE - suddenly they have appeared again! I also receive adverts for their new products - - constantly jumping up at me when I open the program.... "please buy me too!!!" WHAT? This is inexcuseable.

    CUSTOMER SUPPORT - what is this??? This has deteriorated to nothing more than an automatic message transmitting service. No one answers my questions any more - no one cares!!! After all, I have already paid, right? Inexcuseable.

    SUMMARY: Do NOT buy any Incredimail services. The free stuff is for sure still good (and enticing), but they are currently trying to get you hooked.... and doing a good job..... but when you are an addict, they will destroy your services and disappoint you , leaving you frustrated, alone, and wondering just what happened.

    Okay, let me throw in my 2 cents worth. First, I have no impressive credentials as a computer expert. I use a computer mostly for business and to keep in touch with friends and such. So I guess I'm just an average user. I bought a new laptop (Toshiba) and began downloading some programs and ran across Incredimail. Thought I would download it and take a look. I did and thought it was a little too juvenile but that my 8 year old might like it to send to his friends. However, the computer at that point began having hiccups. Well, worse really because it began running so slow and was sometimes completely unresponsive. So I had to write down all the programs installed, all the favorites I had garnered....you know all the stuff you do when you are going to take it back to the original configuration. I dumped it all and started fresh and now I have a computer that works again. I can't say for sure it was Incredimail but that is the only thing I can put my finger on so I won't be using it again and if anybody asks me I will tell them to stay away. That's all I have.

    Incredimail ripped me off. Bought a lifetime license for Incredimail XE Premium and letter creater. Now neither are any good. Have to pay to upgrade to 2.0 which won't install on my computer. Anyone interested in a class action lawsuit stu99228@gmail.com Would have rated lower if I could. Customer support sucks

    I've had Incredimail ever since they first came out back in the 90s. I paid around $58 for the bundle package with IM-PREMIUM and LETTER CREATOR. I upgraded my computers to Windows 7 and now imail tells me my (Paid for) LIFETIME license is not valid! I dropped them and went to Windows Live Mail, which works great but, I have accumulated so much information in imail, it's near impossible to retain it all and move it to another program. As I have saved the data to a stick, I can access it and recover some of the mailings one at a time, but it will take forever. So I'm trying to get my licenses back and recognized by the program. Another thing is the I mail "2" doesn't recognize some older saved emails from earlier programs and displays them in unreadable garbage. PJ
    so I'm trying to get my license back from them.

    After reading some of the comments I'm a bit confused.. slows down the computer? Takes ages to get mail in? I have been using IM for the last 9 years and I'm still very happy with it, the only thing is that you need to do is stay away from each update they give.. if you have a build that works.. STAY WITH IT! In the last 9 years I only updated when I really needed too (really outdated build) and never ran into problems.. so no I don't have IM2 and won't as long as I keep reading there are problems with it.. I'm not bold, not a real computergeek so I'm careful... all my contacts are saved on a flashdrive as is the stationary.. I have several people that have 2 or more addresses I just put a 1, 2 or 3 after there name and they all save so wonder why the fuss is about on that too.. the only minus I have is that each time they have a new build that window to update jumps up altough I have the option "check for updates" unchecked
