-Incredimail is not an email server, but rather, an email client. It is, according to About.com, "A program used to read and send email messages. As opposed to the email server, which transports mail, an email client is what the user interacts with." ((About.com or http://email.about.com/cs/winclientreviews/gr/incredimail.htm#)) What it offers is "a fun and easy to use email client that adds spice to the messages you send." Having said that, Incredimail does not offer it's own email accounts like AIM, Gmail or Hotmail.

 If not for POPFile, the following instructions would best be served on an Incredimail help file. It is assumed that one already has an email account configured and needs only to know how to add POPFile. However, email accounts are added to Incredimail, just like POPFile. It is for this reason that additional guidelines are included here to the Incredimail 'How To' files. If not for POPFile, the following instructions would best be served on an Incredimail help file.
