Email clients may look different but they work exactly in the same way. The working process is almost same for every email client but the real difference is in the features they provide & the options they provide or do not provide. Some email clients provide option to export & some email clients do no provide this option. If the email client does not have an export option will affect the users which know the importance of this option. Absence of this export also makes the user to look for other ways to migrate their emails from one email client to other.
Now, if we come back to email clients then working on email clients are not at all complex as they have an easy user interface. Email clients can be classified in two types which are web based email clients & desktop email clients. Desktop email clients are a much better option as they provide the user with an option to access their emails even if there is no internet connection. In web based email clients the user cannot view emails in the absence of internet connection.
IncrediMail- An email client suitable for youngsters
IncrediMail is not one of your normal email clients as IncrediMail focuses more on multimedia features like 3D effects, animated characters, message decoration & handwritten signatures. All these features provide the user with fun surroundings which the user has been missing. IncrediMail email client is different from most of the email clients as most email clients have similar user interface and extra options which makes it difficult for the user. IncrediMail also has certain problems & that is why users are looking for the migration option. IncrediMail does not have export option which is a drawback for the users.

IncrediMail is obviously much used by youngsters because it has ‘cool’ user interface which appeals to youngsters. MS Outlook have gained the trust of the users because of the reputation they have created over the years which IncrediMail failed to gain even it is also present for a long time. You can see that MS Outlook is the best replacement for your email applications.

You would be able to see a Containers.db file, which will have the database of every file. The default file format of IncrediMail 2.0 emails is IMM.
The story is different in IncrediMail 2.5, the files are saved as individual files. Each & every files is saved in a separate folder. These are exactly similar like EML files. As IncrediMail 2.0 has containers.db file, IncrediMail 2.5 has MessageStore.db file which contains database files.
