Messenger or IncrediMail?

The pros and cons of using IncrediMail and Yahoo Messenger.
With E-mails, we are able to send làrger files and lárger messages. But E-mails do nøt have Voice Chat.
Interactìon time is a whole lot quicker on Messenger, than with an E-mail. Unfortunately, not many in Yahoo Chat know how to communicate effectively, since the majority of those in the 30's and 40's rooms are too programmed so influenced by the "internet mentality" of chatrooms.
Personally, I prefer using IncrediMail because ít ìs safer than Messenger. Furthermore, it is easy to link Pictures and Animatiøns, which can be clicked on.
Due to the speed of interaction in Messenger, I sometimes press the wrong keys and have typographical errors.
With E-mails, there's always more time to make an effort to read what I've typed and then, make corrections & adjustments on the Font sizes; spelling errors; Context of Presentation, etc. before I send it. This ìs why it sometímes takes me 2 or 3 hours to compose àn E-mail. (As strange as it may seem to most internet users, this effort is important...because once the 'Send' button has been clicked on ` and the E-mail gets sent, there ain't nothin' we can do to retract our statements. And if the wrong context is perceived, we may be misunderstood. Well, carelessness can lead to a whole lotta trouble.)
The only reason why I use Messenger, is to get into Yahoo Chat and locate the reliable ones.
ßut Messenger has many drawbacks:
1. Booters with ßoot Codes are able to disconnect you, by closing down your Messenger if you're in a chatroom. $ome have chosen to turn off their I.M.s (instant messages) from receivìng messages from those who are not on their Friends List, thinking that it will solve the problem, but this ignorant action is not an effective one, for it won't really prevent a Boot Code from reaching your Messenger.
2. Messenger itself - which sometimes goes into "Illegal Error" and will disconnect & shut itself down, when we're Not even logged into a chatroom.
3. $creen Freeze. - A screen freeze is when the chatroom screen suddenly stops scrolling. Could be a problem with the Chat Applet. _ Even trying to access a profile whilst being logged into a chatroom, can sometimes cause the computer to "Hang", forcing you to restart your computer.
(I remember this one time àbout 5 years ago, when EVERY chatroom went into slow motion. Goodness. It took apprøx. 8 minutes to see what you've was typed, appêaring in the room screen. This problem lasted for a few days. Many became frustrated and complained. I kinda felt sorry for them.)
4. Bots. - Automated robotic SPAM messages, which are sent by advertisers. Apparently, Yahoo Inc. àllows these bots to advertise in chatrooms, because that's how they make their money.
Send the money now.
It always amàzes me when people (who have been in Yahoo for years) say: "I was booted by Yahoo", when it was actually a ßoot Code sent directly from a criminal. How come these people don't know the difference between being disconnected and being booted??
Then again, individual local Internet $erver connections aìn't all thàt perfect...and just like cellular phones, there may be some Network Congestion.
Well, it's a good thing no one can send a Boot Code via E-mail, which can disconnect us from our E-mail accounts...although most script viruses are sênt via attachments ìn an E-mail.
