You're offering me over 200 types of mail stationery for free? C'mon, there's got to be a catch.

Actually, there isn't. We do understand, however, why you may be skeptical and think My Mail Stationery is just too good to be true. Especially considering all the rather unbelievable offers floating around the Internet. So let us put your mind at ease and explain how we make money - without charging you a cent.

When you download My Mail Stationery, you get a toolbar installed on your Internet Explorer browser. This is how you add stationery - by clicking on the toolbar's My Mail Stationery button. As you've no doubt already noticed, the toolbar also offers you other great benefits, including a search tool that is powered by the Internet's leading search engines. When you search the Web via your toolbar and click on any of the highly relevant sponsored search listings, we make money. It's as easy as that.

For that reason, we encourage you to do all your Internet searches using your  toolbar. It's convenient (because it's on your browser, you can search from anywhere on the Web), and you simply won't find a more powerful search tool anywhere. Enjoy!


What does the "Auto-close" button do?


The Auto-close button allows your My Mail Stationery dropdown window to automatically close after you've added a stationery background to your email message. Click the checkbox next to the Auto-close button within your My Mail Stationery window to enable this feature.


Tell me more about my toolbar.

Internet Explorer users: Your toolbar attaches to your browser and provides one-click access to My Mail Stationery and other cool tools, plus your favorite search providers - including Google, AltaVista, Ask Jeeves, AlltheWeb and LookSmart! Just enter a search term into the blank search field and click any search provider button to get instant results from the Web's leading search engines!

Please note: The toolbar includes NO spyware and NO adware, and is 100% FREE.

Outlook, Outlook Express, IncrediMail and AOL Mail 9.0 users: In addition to the toolbar installed on Internet Explorer (see above), you also have a navigation bar integrated into your email system. You will see it at the top of any Compose/New Mail window. This toolbar, too, provides you with access to My Mail Stationery and other cool tools, plus a search box powered by Google.

Please note: The navigation bar includes NO spyware and NO adware, and is 100% FREE.
 

Is this toolbar spyware?

NO! Your toolbar does not collect any personal information and is completely "spyware"-free and "adware"-free.  Period.

The toolbar was specifically designed to provide a great user experience free of spyware, adware, direct marketing, data collection or other similar activities. In order to achieve that goal:

  • The toolbar software DOES NOT collect personal information of any kind, period. No email address, registration or other information is required to use the product. No zip code, no email, no member name, no password. Unlike many other products, we do not even attempt to collect data upon startup as a requirement of use.
     

  • The toolbar software DOES NOT monitor the websites visited by the end user, collect or in any manner report any information about what sites an end users visits (or any clickstream activity), nor does it monitor or scrape information when you are on other sites.
     

  • The toolbar software DOES NOT serve or facilitate so-called "contextual advertising" where pop-up ads are served based on the sites you visit. Many applications are identified as spyware because they monitor end-user Internet usage and serve contextual pop-ups. The toolbar does not engage in any such practices.

In short, the toolbar provides a superior search experience on an ANONYMOUS basis and without any additional monitoring, contextual ads or other nuisances.
