Solve : Changing automatic settings for default email web reply? |
|
Answer» Using windows vista and Incredimail as default email client. Contacted Incredimail support - they seem to think it's due to Incredimail not being fully Vista compatable. Is using Incredimail of paramount importance? If not, WOULD you like to consider a DIFFERENT email client? The email program that comes with Vista is Windows Mail. Using Incredimail isn't vital - necessary, but not vital, particularly as I have a variety of templates set up for a number of associations I'd use to reply to users within those areas. Another consideration is I've paid to use the additional functionality of Incredimail through their options on letterheadings/notifiers etc., so I don't really want to give up on it that easily. And I find the windows mail boring and uninviting to use. I guess i've just got to wait until they get their sh.t together on VistaQuote from: RsC on September 24, 2007, 01:54:21 PM Using Incredimail isn't vital - necessary, but not vital, particularly as I have a variety of templates set up for a number of associations I'd use to reply to users within those areas. I can't comment on the additional functionality of Incredimail as I've never used it. Here, I like to use Thunderbird for my email, and Firefox for web browsing. I've found both to quite NICE to use, well supported, and continually updated. Both are highly configurable. Both are free. Further, I am not the only person that uses this machine. Others use Internet Explorer and something else for email. It would not be good for me to change this computer so that the default CLIENTS suited me. Sometimes I too want to be able to simply click on a link and open the corresponding program. Remember the highly configurable comment I made? There is an extension - free- that does just this. Same extension can be added to both Thunderbird and Firefox. Very slick. Now I can leave the Windows defaults alone, for other users, and still do what I want. Sometime you might want to look into both these programs. Especially since they are free. If you like them - don't be surprised if you do, many do - you might then ease into it.

Although it is still in beta, it is pretty stable and it's what I use.Quote from: Comp Guy on September 24, 2007, 10:40:34 PM If you don't like dull looking programs, and want something with a lot more options, ... Is Incredimail dull looking and lacking in options?Incredimail certainly isn't dull - I wouldn't be using it if it were. I'd just like the opportunity to click and go from a website or link...........Quote I guess i've just got to wait until they get their sh.t together on Vista If i was in the same situation on a fee based program i would not put up with this...i'd kindly tell them i would like to opt out til they get their cookies together... Just my opinion. |
