words will be , which means you should
upgrade your IncrediMail.
Save time! Instead of opening the "Attachment"button, searching for the file that you want and attaching it to your email the traditional way, cut those steps out and just drag and drop your file over the composed message with your mouse. Your file will be automatically attached to your email.

While editing your emails, you can insert animations from your Animation Collection in your Style Box directly into your text.

Hitting the keyboard shortcut "F5" while writing an email will automatically get you a random Letter background from your Style Box collections. Hit "F5" as many times as you like! And to remove the background just hit "Ctrl +F5" .
IncrediMail makes it extremely easy for you to
access a specific collection in the IncrediMail
Gallery. Since build 912, the
"Get More" hyperlink found at the bottom of each
collection list in your Style Box brings you directly to the
same collection in the IncrediMail online Gallery.
Click on it to browse through the online collection.
IncrediMail continually spices up the Gallery
with more content so if there is a collection in your Style
Box that you particularly like, just click on "Get More"
and see if there are more Letters, Animations, Sounds
and Ecards for you. Want more? Get more . . .
Define which Letter background will open automatically when you click "New Mail"
Click on New mail, select a Letter from within the Style Box, right click on its name and choose: 'Set as Default Letter', 'Use Last Letter Style' or 'Use Random Letter Style'. For step-by-step instructions, click here.
Insert image or animation from any Web page into your IncrediMail Style Box
Right click on the image, scroll down and select "Add to IncrediMail Style Box". The image will be placed in the "My Collection" folder in your "Animation" category. For step-by-step instructions, click here.
You can easily move, delete or rename any Letter, Animation, Sound or E-card in your StyleBox.
Move: Hold and drag the content to another folder. Rename: Right-click on content, select "Rename" and type in a new name. Delete: Click on the content you want to delete and hit the "Delete" key on keyboard.
If your Style Box is constantly growing, it is recommended that you do some "maintenance" work on it every now and then…
Find a specific Letter background in your Style Box
If you like a specific Letter and want to use it in a new email, right-click on the Letter while it is in your Preview Pane in the main window of your application and select "Show Letter in Style Box". If you have this Letter background in your Style Box, IncrediMail will find it and open a new message with it as the background of your email. In addition, you can use the "Find in Style Box" function located in the 'Edit' menu of a message you are composing to look for a Letter background by name.
Received a new Letter background from another IncrediMail user and you want it saved in your Style Box:
When you receive an IncrediMail Letter background that you do not have in your Style Box, IncrediMail will display a "New" button at the upper right corner of your "preview pane view" View allowing you to add the Letter into your Style Box at the click of a button. This tip also applies to animations and sounds.
Are you seeing stars all over the place? Don't worry,
you are not seeing things. Stars in your Style Box
simply means that you have new content that you
have not yet used (or even looked at since you
downloaded them). There are 2 ways to remove the
stars on your folders: 1) open the folder and click on
the content with the star on them OR 2) simply right-click
on the folder with the star and select "Unmark Collection"
from the drop down menu. It's as simple as that.
Get the stars out of your head!
