[pchelpers] Incredimail

Hi folks,

There was some recent discussion of Incredimail here.  Here's what one
site says about it (cover your eyes):

Incmail
IncMail.exe
(IncrediMail Ltd)
        
Part of the IncrediMail email program.

Recommendation :
We first got acquainted with IncrediMail in early 2002 when trying to
solve numerous crashes on a PC. Well, from that time to today,
3-Dec-2003, we have yet to ever come across a PC with IncrediMail
which was not suffering from horrendous problems, whether it be
unbelievable slowness because IncrediMail was consuming most of the
CPU capacity, to KERNEL32 errors, illegal operations, Internet
Explorer crashes, and more, and more, and more. All such problems
would disappear with the de-installation of IncrediMail ! We do not
have one single good word to say about this program which has caused
our clients endless nightmares whenever an end-user thought it a good
idea to install it on their PC. If you want a free alternative to
Microsoft Outlook or Outlook Express, our advice is to de-install
IncrediMail via the ?Add/Remove Program? icon in the Control Panel
(also delete any references to IncrediMail on the Startups tab of The
Ultimate Troubleshooter) and then use a program like FoxMail available
on our Downloads page. 17-Dec-2003 update : we have had one
AnswersThatWork user today making a point of telling us they have
IncrediMail, have not experienced problems with it, and are a
satisfied customer. Late December 2003 to January 2004 update :
another five users tell us having used IncrediMail without problems
but indicate using IncrediMail Premium, the non-free version ? this
may be a crucial difference as all the problems we have experienced at
AnswersThatWork?s clients have all been with the free version.

Good advice is like good paint- it only works if applied.
