Pick The Best Image For Creating Letters
Pick the best image
Transparent Image - the transparent image (available in gif format only) has a special quality. It enables an image to seem like it's floating on the Letter. Having no border removes the rectangularity of the original image giving it a clear-cut quality. This way the image will be a much more prominent part of the Letter.
Seamless tiling - Many background images can be constructed from a small pattern that repeats itself, much like the tiles on your floor at home ( this technique is called 'tiling). The huge benefit to tiling is that you can make a large background with one small image making your Letter much lighter. To tile your background or other regions in your Letter background, make sure that you choose a small image that matches seamlessly on all sides so that every edge matches. Try to make the image as seamless as possible so that all you can see is a pattern and not the edges.

The Sample Icon you can use for custom colors
Find the exact color
The Sample button lets you match your background color to the images in the Letter so that there is a smooth transition from the inserted image to the background. Just click on the "Sample" button, move your cursor to the color you want to capture and click on your mouse.
The last icon is the Clear icon, that removes the background
Then you have image position that positions your background
For my example I used Top Left
Then below is Text
Defult is on Times New Roman you can click the arrow to change it
and the same with the size.
In the picture above you see where the default Text is positioned
You have four tabs below that
Text Color Sample Color Link Color Sample Color
again use the Sample Colors to customize text and link

It moves your Margins
Spacing- spaces your text type further apart or closer together.
Then at the top click on Header you will see this box
If you want a image click the Image button. Pick an image from your computer, and choose
your alignment, on this example I chose Center. You can also add text or more images.
Then Click the Next Button Now you see the Footer
I added the text My Footer and a image. I also centered my example.
next top tab is Left again you can add an image or text..
I added a image and aligned it left. I also resized it in the view box.
Next You Have above your Right Tab and Your 3D Effects Tab
The right tab is like your left.
3D Effects There are many to choose from...
The last tab Finish
Here you name your letter, and your link, you can save the project
if you are still working on it, or you can add it to your Incredimail.
This is a very basic understanding.... It will help you create right away. I will
be posting more tips and tricks to letter creating.

Glossary of Email Terms
Glossary of Email Terms
1 APOP, short for Authenticated Post Office Protocol, is an extension of the Post Office Protocol that allows passwords to be sent in encrypted form. APOP is more secure than normal plain text POP authentication, but also suffers from serious shortcomings.
2 Attachment
An attachment is a file (such as an image, a word processing document or an mp3 file perhaps) that is sent along with an email message.
3 Backscatter
Backscatter is a delivery failure report generated by a junk email that used an innocent third party's email address as the sender (which address receives the delivery failure message).
4 Base64
Base64 is a method for encoding arbitrary binary data as ASCII text, to be used, for example, in an email body.
5 Bcc (Blind Carbon Copy)
A Bcc, short for "blind carbon copy", is a copy of an email message sent to a recipient whose email address does not appear (as a recipient) in the message.
6 Blacklist
A Blacklist collects known sources of spam. Email traffic then can be filtered against a blacklist to remove spam from these sources.
7 Cc
A Cc, short for "carbon copy", is a copy of an email message sent to a recipient whose email address appears in the message's Cc header field.
8 Email Address
An email address is the name for an electronic postbox that can receive (and send) email messages on a network (such as the internet or a local network not connected to the wider internet).
9 Email Body
The email body is the main part of an email message that contains the message’s text, images and other data (such as attached files).
10 Email Client
An email client is a program (on a computer or mobile device, for example) used to read and send electronic messages.
11 Email Header
Email header lines make up the first part of any email message. They contain information used to control the message and its transmission as well as meta-data such as the Subject, origin and destination email addresses, the path an email takes, and maybe its priority.
12 Email Server
An email servier is a program running at Internet Service Providers and large sites used to transport mail. Users normally do not interact with email servers directly: email is submited with an email client to an email server, which delivers it to the recipient's email client.
13 From
The "From:" header field, in an email, contains the message's author. It must list the email address, and one can add a name as well.
14 GB
A GB (gigabyte) is made up of 1000 MB (megabytes) or 10⁹ (1 billion) bytes. A byte is a basic unit of storing information electronically made up of 8 bits; each bit has two states (on or off).
15 IMAP (Internet Messaging Access Protocol)
IMAP, short for Internet Messaging Access Protocol, is an internet standard that describes a protocol for retrieving mail from an email (IMAP) server. IMAP allows email programs to access not only new messages but also folders on the server. Actions are synchronized between multiple email programs connected through IMAP.
16 IMAP IDLE
IMAP IDLE is an optional expansion of the IMAP email accessing protocol that allows the server to send new message updates to the client in real time. Instead of having your email program check for new mail every few minutes, IMAP IDLE allows the server to notify your email program when new messages have arrived. You can see incoming mail immediately.
17 LDAP (Lightweight Directory Access Protocol)
LDAP, short for Lightweight Directory Access Protocol, defines a means to find and edit information in white pages. Using LDAP, email, groupware, contact and other software can access and manipulate entries on a directory server.
18 List-Unsubscribe
List-Unsubscribe is an optional email header line that lets mailing list administrators specify means to unsubscribe from a mailing list or newsletter. Email programs and web-based email services can use this header to offer an easy method for unsubscribing.
19 Mailto
Mailto is an HTML tag that allows visitors to a site to click on a link that creates a new message in their default email program. It is possible to set not only a default email recipient but also default Subject and message body content.
20 MIME (Multipurpose Internet Mail Extensions)
MIME, short for Multipurpose Internet Mail Extensions, specify a method to send content other than ASCII text via email. Arbitrary data is encoded as ASCII text for MIME.
21 Phishing
Phishing is a fraudulent practice in which private data is captured on web sites or through an email designed to look like a trusted third party. Typically, phishing (from "password fishing") scams involve an email alerting the user to a problem with their bank or other account.
22 POP (Post Office Protocol)
POP (Post Office Protocol) is an internet standard that defines an email server and a way to retrieve mail from it. In contrast to IMAP, POP only lets the email client download recent messages, to be managed in the program and on the device.
23 PST (Personal Folders File)
PST, short for Personal Folders File, is the format used by Microsoft Outlook to store data locally. A PST file holds emails, contacts, notes, the to-do list, calendars and other Outlook data.
24 Public Key Cryptography
Public key cryptography uses a key with two parts. The public key part is used for encryption exclusively for the recipient, whose private key part is applied for decryption. For public key cryptography to be save it is important that only the intended recipient knows the private part of the key.
25 RFC (Request For Comments)
Request For Comments (RFC) is the format Internet standards are published in. RFCs relevant for email are published by the Internet Engineering Task Force (IETF) and include RFC 821 for SMTP, RFC 822, which specifies the format of Internet email messages, or RFC 1939, which lays down the PO protocol.
26 S/MIME
S/MIME is a standard for secure email messages. S/MIME messages offer sender authentication using digital signatures and can be encrypted to protect privacy.
27 SMTP (Simple Mail Transfer Protocol)
SMTP, short for Simple Mail Transfer Protocol, is the protocol used for email on the Internet. It defines a message format and a procedure to route messages through the Internet from source to destination via email servers.
28 Spam
Spam is unsolicited email. Not all unsolicited email is spam, however. Most spam is sent in bulk to a large number of email addresses and advertises some product or—considerably less often—political viewpoint.
29 Spammer
A spammer is a person or entity (such as a company) that sends spam emails
30 Spamvertise
Something is spamvertised when it is promoted (or merely appears) in spam. The term is commonly used with Web sites or email addresses that are part of the body of an unsolicited commercial email.
31 Subject
The "Subject" of an email message should be a short summary of its contents. Email programs usually display it in a mailbox display together with the sender.
32 Threadjacking
Threadjacking (also threadwhacking) is to steer off the original topic in an email thread, especially on a mailing list. Threadjacking can also apply to other conversations on the internet, of course, say on message boards, blogs or social networking sites. Whether the threadjacker changes the subject line to reflect the change in subject or retains the original email subject, to take over a thread can be regarded as threadjacking in either case.
33 To
The To: line of an email contains its primary recipient or recipients. All recipients in the To: line are visible to all other recipients, possibly by default.
34 Unicode
Unicode is a way to represent characters and symbols on computers and devices with support for most of the world's writing systems (including African, Arabic, Asian and Western).
35 Web-based Email
Web-based email provides email accounts that are accessed through a web browser. The interface is implemented as a website that provides access to the various functions like reading, sending or organizing messages.
36 Worm
A worm is a program or script that replicates itself and moves through a network, typically travelling by sending new copies of itself via email. Many worms have no negative effect except resource consumption, but some will perform malicious actions.
