5.0 out of 5 stars Found what I wanted, November 19, 2001

jon anderson (Austin, TX) - See all my reviews

This product goes beyond where email programs go. This is the only program I could find that deals with POP3 email and free WEB email. It does no good to monitor email unless you can keep track of all kinds of email, and IMailkeys does a pretty good job. You can block incoming/outgoing email addresses and attachments, as well as filter attachments by file and MIME type and obscenity and any other words or phrases you want. Website email is undetected by the browser, and by firewalls. iMailkeys is the best out there for dealing with all types of email. Nothing else is available. And it costs less than Netkeys, if you don't need everything in Netkeys.

5.0 out of 5 stars A really great product!, August 9, 2002

KPonte (Riverside, CA USA) - See all my reviews

We are a small non-profit organization and we were being besieged by unwanted emails. Besides the security issues, it was taking too much of our time deleting the unwanted mail to get to the mail that we really needed to respond to. When we installed iMailKeys it was such a relief. The program was so simple to install and learn. In less than an hour I had it downloaded, installed and running. It really does the job. Their customer service people were very helpful and responded quickly when I had a question. A good price, a great product and excellent customer service - I highly recommend this product.

1.0 out of 5 stars The WORST software EVER!, June 10, 2003

By 

Neo "neoone" (Kapuskasing, Ont.) - See all my reviews

I have never seen such a rotten piece of junk in my life as this software. I installed IMAILKEYS v6.2 on my system (the latest version), in the hopes of having it help me fight spam. I especially liked the idea of being able to automatically bounce mail back to the spammers. I chose to try this instead of the similar SPAMKEYS product from the same manufacturer, because it was essentially the same product with more features.

IMAILKEYS left me with a bad taste before even running the program. It has an overly complicated install routine which put all kinds of dll's in my system directory, and made a lot of needless changes and additions to my system for such a small and insignificant program. The unusually invasive install program gives you a password to write down and remember. If you don't, it's at your peril! (read on to see why). Once installed, the first thing I noticed was that my firewall crashed upon rebooting my windows 98SE system. The firewall would no longer load. When I tried to get onto the net to find a solution to the problem, my Opera browser also crashed after loading. "No problem", I thought, I'll just surf using Internet Explorer. That also crashed upon loading. Then I tried good ol' Netscape. That also crashed upon loading. Now I was completely cut off from using the Internet to resolve the problem! I knew it had to be due to this screwy program, so I proceeded to uninstall it. I tried to use its own uninstall program, but it wouldn't let me, saying I had to go through the add/remove in the control panel, so I tried that.

I've never seen a program that demanded you enter a password to uninstall it, up until now. "For your security" the program says. After entering the "special password", the uninstall didn't work.
After about a minute later, it finally decided to start working. During the uninstall, it gives you the typical message that badly designed software gives you about how its dangerous to remove its files from your system because they may be used by other programs. So now because you chose to try a badly designed piece of software, you've just permanently added more junk to your ever-growing hard drive because you don't know what allowing the uninstall program to remove those files will do to the stability of your system. Of course, you also can't know whether KEEPING those files might affect the stability of your system, and not just affect the size of your empty drive space. Once the ... IMAILKEYS was removed from my system, my firewall and browsers were working again. If I could give less than one star for this pile ...I would.

I also think it says something that a company has to write fake reviews of its product on Amazon. I'm referring to the review entitled "A Really Great Product", which starts out "We are a small non-profit organization...". ... Best advice: STAY AWAY from IMAILKEYS and do not let it overwrite your system's DLL files, particularly its msvcr70d.dll file, or you will be sorry. That one's a system killer.
