mail system in the movie euro trip
Thursday, June 17, 2004 by Watson | Discussion: WinCustomize Talk
In the movie when he gets mail there is a mail screensaver and the computer talks to him, has anyone seen that?
This may be a dumb question but is there a mail service like that?

Jafo is a naughty admin who has suddenly become aware of the dangers inherent in DWatson finding this new toy. I know - it is a frightening prospect
However in fairness taken from the incredimail site
Is IncrediMail spyware?
No, it is not. IncrediMail does not install any PC surveillance tools, capture keystrokes, log your communications, etc. Our business and revenue model has nothing to do with using your personal information in a harmful or deceitful manner. In fact, the IncrediMail team is adamantly against that kind of behavior and therefore, does not violate the privacy policy and agreement with our customers.
Does IncrediMail install anything else other than IncrediMail products on users' computers?
Absolutely not. The only software installed on any user's computer is IncrediMail and its supplementary program, the Letter Creator. IncrediMail does not install any third-party software.
Will IncrediMail provide my personal information to third parties?
Absolutely not. We are committed to making IncrediMail users feel safe and comfortable when sending/receiving e-mail. Therefore, IncrediMail does not and will not provide user's personal identifiable information it has collected to any third party (including advertisers and direct marketers) without the user's permission. IncrediMail may on occasion share usage information for statistical purposes in aggregate anonymous (non-personally identifiable) form, with advertisers or other third parties.
Will I receive spam from IncrediMail?
No. When you register to IncrediMail you are asked if you would like to receive email updates and IncrediMail special offers. Only users that install IncrediMail with the indication that they would like to receive updates will receive the IncrediMail Newsletter and other special updates. In addition, each email from IncrediMail includes an "unsubscribe" option, thus allowing you to halt your subscription at any time. IncrediMail does not collect users' personal information and use it to send advertisements and other unsolicited mail.
I think users of the free edition get the incredimail tag line at the bottom of e-mails but thats about all.
My plan was to keep DWatson so busy playing with settings and downloading images that it will be days if not weeks before the words 'you've got mail' appear again

Darn, an unforeseen downside - help i'm being dragged into a vortex of my own making.
I configure it with my Yahoo mail - if you check out the FAQ section on incredimail you shouldn't have any problems working it out. Saying that, and here I know I'm asking for trouble, post again if you have any specific problem and I'll see what I can do.
DWatson - think you were an unfortunate victim of a cross post there. Both Yahoo and Incredimail have clear instructions on setting your profile up. Double check and triple check your settings then tell me whats happening:).

I can't remember the exact detail now but where the account setting requires that you tick the box that your server requires authentification - try unchecking it if its checked.. Cross check your Yahoo account settings with the advice on the 'Yahoo mail' page.

Totally re-edited this one. I think its how you personally define spyware and what you are willing to tolerate against the gain. Anything you do in this country - all e-mails, and your mobile phone calls that are within the range of GCHQ are electronically monitored. I guess if the firm tells you what its doing with respect to stuff, its not spying and the link Jafo provides is to what comes off to me as being a 3rd rate site that should have borrowed someone's spellchecker
As long as the authorities never put together the link between my vaseline supplier and my fish costume I'll not worry too much about incredimail. Both spybot and ad-aware are reporting a totally clean system.
and Jafo - I knew you could be cruel - but to deny last night even happened

OK...so that's one place I found it listed....and this is a legitimate Spyware proggy.....[was the only one that got me out of a drama....where Spybot was oblivious].
Now, it's mentioned here as a tracking cookie....which still classifies as 'spyware', certainly when combined with the lame disclaimers...
I'm sure I'll find other reference to the proggy as being an 'issue'....

All I can add, is that every time I ran ADAWARE it would list several parts to my Incredimail service.
...However, when running SpyBot it would not list anything from Incredimail.
I still uninstalled....better safe, then sorry

Its possible that way back when - it tried to put something on my system - but if it did then adaware or one of my other little cyber-soldiers fought back and kicked ass ( whoa testosterone surge)
