Seems sudden to shut down a service of 20 years with two week notice. Then again, I don’t even know what they do so it’s not something I’m going to miss.

- Ygg2 7y agoAFAIU the client itself didn't work for at least a few years. Mostly since Win 10 became the norm. They were selling an email client that had "advanced features". Features that include: - animation as notification. E.g. a batler appears with posh accent saying "You have mail, sir" - you can send animation and sounds in message. When I used it, it sent embedded flash animations and sounds - you can customize its looks - always on top mailbox, if you remember downloaders of yore, their always on top url drop point There were some more technically interesting features, but its selling point was cosmetics.
- TsomArp 7y agoStill, they say "Our first priority is to help make this transition as easy as possible for you." and give two weeks?
- prostheticvamp 7y agoIt’s an email client. It’s replaced in 10 minutes. Is 2 weeks not enough?
- rpeden 7y agoMigrating old emails over to a new client might be non-trivial. My grandfather has many years of emails and attachments stored in Incredimail - some of whom have passed away, so he'd really like to keep these emails. I've backed up his Incredimail email database, and will have to find a way to import them into Thunderbird or something similar.
- eisa01 7y agoYup. Back when Incredimail was popular, IMAP was not as widespread. I moved my mom over from Incredimail to Thunderbird 10 years ago, but I don't think I managed to import the message history... Now she's on gmail instead of the internet provider email (that has since been switched several times), so no longer an issue
