incredimail [desktop going away]


 

A member of mine sent this and i know others use incredimail here. I had a feeling it would happen after gmail said they wont support it. This is what they said:

Anita

Dear Valued Customer,

Over 20 years ago, we set out to create an innovative email platform because we believed that the emailing experience should be beautiful, fun and make people smile.

When we first created IncrediMail, we were amongst the first to feature an unprecedented interactive email experience, tailored to every mood and personality. It was important to us to keep adding innovative emails, stationaries, and countless smileys, to build an appealing and engaging collection of visual animations.

With nearly 4 million customers, 270 million emails sent and 116 million designs downloaded, we are proud of the product we built, but even more so, we¡¯re grateful for the community of customers that helped us grow. Through every turn, your feedback shaped IncrediMail¡¯s development, and your passion helped elevate the product. Together we made this platform what it has become.

Today, email is not what it used to be 20 years ago. Back then, there weren¡¯t any social platforms, instant messaging or smart phones¡ªemail was really the main source of digital communication. Now, there are infinite ways to keep you connected on the go, evolving the market and its needs entirely. So, after much thought and consideration, we have decided to retire our beloved IncrediMail to focus on areas that are more relevant to today¡¯s use of technology.

As of March 20, 2020, we will shut down our servers and the IncrediMail desktop application will no longer be available.

What should you expect?
Sending, receiving and viewing your emails, contacts and attachments will not be available through IncrediMail. In some cases, you will still be able to use those functionalities, but they would be substantially less reliable and incredimail would not be able to provide any level of customer service or support.

All of our IncrediMial graphics, letters, eCards, animations, emoticons, sounds, notifiers, skins and any other IncrediMail assets as well as any additional services such as Gold Gallery, IncrediMail Plus and the Protection Center, will no longer be available.

Our first priority is to help make this transition as easy as possible for you. Therefore, we strongly suggest contacting your email provider and making sure all your data is backed up (emails, attachments, contacts, etc.).

We know for many of you, a great deal of care has gone into managing your emails and contacts with IncrediMail¡ªincluding your time and the most precious moments you¡¯ve trusted us with¡ªand, for that, we¡¯d like to thank you.

We apologize for any inconvenience this transition causes and we so deeply appreciate your loyalty over the years.

?

Best,
Dan & the IncrediMail team

Just found out that this is not true. This is what incredimail said:

Anita

I called the IncrediMail site 1-888 608-7276 and talked to an employee?who took my call,?'Paul' , and he said it was not true and reassured me?not to worry. The program will keep on functioning.
?I told him they?have a notice up that says what it says. He said they will and need to take that down.
Hooty - what a scare huh?!
?
IM SAYS notice below is a HOAX - THEY MUST HAVE BEEN HACKED

I don't know where you got that number, nor who you talked to, but it's a known robocall center.? It also says on the IM site that they don't take phone calls.? I think you need to do more research and find out what's really going on before posting anything else..

LOL!
That is what I thought when I called them.
You know the calls you get?about credit card lower interest rates, car warranty extensions,?threat to your SS # etc etc - Well that is what the guy sounded like when I spoke to them.
?
It isn't from Incredimail.
So no one really knows what is happening.
?
The good news is, gmail addresses won't have to be changed to work in groups IO for those members who were using Incredimail.
?
I was also told that Incredimail works off of email providers and not Incredimail themselves. So mail probably would still be able to be sent. Also with Incredimail you can work offline so you will still be able to go through mail?and save what you want.
?
Lastly - view mail from groups IO site itself.

I am sorry getting information from a few people and at this point not sure what is true and what isn't.

The only thing i can advise is to backup every thing at incredimail. That is what I am doing. I might just try not using it.
I do love it but just not sure about it any more.

Before the panic starts incredimail is a 3rd party software,, the free version might stop but for the rest with the paid version
We:ll still have our mailbox,, we don't run off of incredimail servers,, everyone has a different ISP, so the mailbox a still be there
To get mail,,, just hang in there and see what happens
