Incred mail
Incredimail!
Incredimail is a popular email client that was first introduced in the late 1990s. It was known for its unique features, such as:
- Animated GIFs: Incredimail allowed users to send and receive animated GIFs, which were a novelty at the time.
- Customizable templates: Users could choose from a variety of pre-designed templates or create their own to customize their emails.
- Sound effects: Incredimail would play sound effects when you received an email, such as a "ding" or a "whoosh" sound.
- Emoticons: Incredimail introduced a range of emoticons, which were a new feature at the time.
- Stationery: Users could choose from a variety of stationery designs, including backgrounds, borders, and fonts, to make their emails more visually appealing.
Incredimail was popular among users who wanted to add a bit of flair to their emails and make them more engaging. However, over time, the company faced stiff competition from other email clients, such as Microsoft Outlook and Mozilla Thunderbird, which offered more advanced features and better integration with other applications.
In 2013, Incredimail was acquired by a company called Blue Security, which continued to develop and maintain the software. However, in 2019, Blue Security announced that it would be discontinuing Incredimail and focusing on other products.
Although Incredimail is no longer actively developed or supported, many users still use the software and appreciate its nostalgic value.
