Deleting Old Mail's in IncrediMail

             If you keep mail on the server after downloading it in IncrediMail, you can re-retrieve it later in another email client or even in IncrediMail, if you have accidentally deleted an important message. 

That's great, but it means that your POP server will have to keep all those messages, and eventually your mailbox will be full. Your account will be clogged by so many old messages that it can't accept any new mail.In incrediMail lets you prevent that from happening easily, and automatically.Don't Clog the Mail Server with Very Old Mail in IncrediMail

•     Select Tools | Accounts... from the menu.

•     Highlight the desired account.

•     Click on the Properties button.

•     Go to the Advanced tab.

•     Make sure Leave a copy of messages on server is selected.

•     Make sure Remove from server after __ day(s) is selected, too.

•     Choose how many days after downloading a message IncrediMail should remove it from the server.

Undisclosed Recipients in IncrediMail

      Of all the reasons not to disclose something, not many are good reasons.

But protecting the privacy of the people that make up the diverse group to which you forward a joke is usually a good reason. Don't reveal the names and email addresses of all recipients, especially if they do not know each other well.

In IncrediMail, hiding recipients is easy using the Bcc: field, and we can make it even better and prettier by using a trick that displays our emails as going to "Undisclosed recipients".

Send an Email to Undisclosed Recipients in IncrediMail

First, let's set up a special address book entry that helps us avoid typing "Undisclosed recipients" more often than is absolutely necessary.

•     Select Tools | Address Book... from the menu in IncrediMail.

•     Click the Contact toolbar button.

•     Type "Undisclosed" under First:.

•     Enter "recipients" under Last:.

•     Type your email address under Email Address:.

•     Click OK.

•     Close the Address Book.

To send an email to a group of people with individual recipients hidden and "Undisclosed recipients" in the To: field:

•     Start with a new email message in IncrediMail.

•     If you do not see a Bcc: field, select View | Show 'Bcc' Field from the menu.

•     Click on the To: button.

•     Highlight Undisclosed recipients.

•     Click To ->.

•     Now highlight all people in your address book you want to receive the message.

                Of course, you can also highlight a group.

•     Click Bcc ->.

•     Click OK.

•     Add any additional recipients' email addresses to the Bcc: field.

                Make sure you separate addresses with semicolons.

•     Compose and eventually send your message.

You'll Get a Copy

Since your email address is in the To: field, you will get a copy of your message to "undisclosed recipients" — do not let that alarm you. These steps can be followed for IncrediMail installed in Windows XP, 2000, 98 etc

Smart Notifiers in IncrediMail

       The butler's serving mail, of course, iconically in IncrediMail.

Is all mail fit for the butler, though, and all fit mail equal? How about having specific characters, animals and animations announce emails from certain people, and turning off notifications for unimportant messages altogether?

With smart notifiers, IncrediMail Plus lets you set up rules for notifiers. You can adapt them for certain senders or group mails, for example, or differentiate by the email account that received an email.

 
Set Up Email Ringtones and Smart Notifiers in IncrediMail

Steps to have IncrediMail use particular notifiers for certain senders, e.g., or for mail sent to a particular account:

•     Select Tools | Select Notifier… from the menu in IncrediMail.

•     If you cannot see the menu bar, click Menu in IncrediMail's title bar.

•     Click Smart Notifier….

•     Pick the desired condition for your smart notifier under Select a condition.

•    To create a notifier for one or more particular senders, for example, make sure When an email arrives from a specific email address is selected.

•    To get special notifications for messages sent to one of your email accounts, make sure When an email is sent to a specific account is selected.

•     If the condition requires some input, enter it under 2..

•     If you have picked When an email arrives from a specific email address, for example, type the desired sender's address under Enter one or more email addresses separated with a comma; you can use the Contacts… button to enter known senders right from your address book.

•     If you have selected When an email is sent to a specific account, make sure the desired account is chosen under Select an account:

•     Select the desired new mail notifier under Select a Notifier.

•    Choose No Notifier to turn off notification for emails matching your criteria — emails from unapproved senders, for example, or with low importance.

•     Click OK.

•     Check the order of rules for smart notifiers.

•    The first rule that matches any new message arriving when IncrediMail checks for new mail is used to announce the batch.

•   Typically, put the most important rule — mail from your family, for example — on top and continue with decreasing importance.

•   Use the MoveUp and MoveDown buttons to change the order of rules.

•   Click OK.

•   Click OK again.

These steps can be followed for IncrediMail installed in Windows XP, 2000, 98 etc
