I don't about the movie DW, but I have incredimail which uses what they call notifiers

http://www.incredimail.com/english/gallery.asp?typeId=5

these, depending on which you choose, will appear on your desktop and 'speak to you'.

Wow! That is really cool! That's exactly what I mean, lol in the movie it cusses at him... "Mail Mother ******!"

Jafo thinks 'incredimail' is on the spyware lists.....sure he's seen it there....

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

Journeyman what mail service do you have it set to check?

Eh... fair enough... I like pressing those buttons

what mail service do you have it set to check?

I tried to set it to yahoo, didn't work, tried hotmail, didn't work either

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:).

Come on, guys....let's keep our disclaimers consistent, otherwise someone may smell a rat.....

Jafo - if you ever loved me, if last night meant anything to you at all - lock this post now

Last night?

Where was I?....

I'm sure it's listed on one of the spyware engines....

Jafo goes a hunting.

It tells me that the connection was rejected by outgoing mail server

I just think it doesn't like me...

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.
