I have a client who is in white hot love with IncrediMail and has used it for years. He recently bought a new computer and when he went to install the latest IncrediMail he realized that the old JunkFilter feature had been replaced with a subscription service called JunkFilter Plus. The “Plus” is code language for “Only $35.99 a Year.”

The solution is to install an older version of IncrediMail (version 2031 or earlier). This turns out to be much harder than one would think. It’s not only very hard to find a version of IncrediMail that’s 2031 or earlier but uninstalling your JunkFilter Plus copy isn’t easy.

Luckily, someone has written step-by-step instuctions available for Windows XP Home users. He even has the 2031 version of IncrediMail available for download on his site.

I ran through the steps for my client and he was up and running his beloved IncrediMail with free junk filtering in no time.
