Install IncrediMail with JunkFilter
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.
mozilla thunderbird (getthunderbird.com)has a built in junk filter that learns what you want and don’t want. for free.
granted it doesn’t have a little cute thing that pops up when you get mail, but there is a notifier and you can change whatever you want.

Thank you sooo much. I was least to say pissed that a free upgrade cost you more for what you already have. They did get a nasty-gram from me.
\Thanks again

Actually if you Google, Incredimail 2031, it is fairly easy to find these days. Many individuals host it, as well as the sites specializing in older software.

I tried Incredimail once and I’ll have to admit that it’s chock full of cute little doodads but the dealbreaker was when I discovered that because what it’s doing is html email, it breaks pgp signed or encrypted messages completely.
