eM Client

Avantages

The software is easy to install and generally easy to use. It has a few quirks, but once you get used to those, it is very good.

Inconvénients

The software has a habit of backing up, usually when I need to use it, which can be frustrating. It also has a habit of creating an error when it closes, not only when it is closed because for example the laptop crashes, but also when it is closed down properly. This results in a need to check and validate the database. Whilst I have not yet lost any data, the checking is problematic if I am in a rush and for example only turned on the laptop to do a quick e-mail.

Avantages

The main reason I use eM Client is the speed of the search. My job has me constantly searching a large database of emails and it's imperative that I find them quickly. When put side by side with Thunderbird, it absolutely dominates in search presentation and speed.

Inconvénients

The most recent update has made it so that when I print emails, another daily task, eM Client always opens the system print dialog box despite that box not being checked. This takes a considerable amount of extra time with the number of emails I print. I opened a ticket but wasn't very happy with the reply which suggested that I move to a previous version which carried the risk of losing my fine tuned settings and more. In addition, for most users without search needs, I don't feel it's significantly better than Thunderbird so it may be hard to justify the cost.

Avantages

Integration of the different features. GMail and Exchange integration.

Inconvénients

Mail filtering is too simple. Need to be able to create complex rules, using different headers.
Calendar should alert conflicts when accepting an invitation or scheduling a new meeting.

Avantages

I like its superb functionality and flexibility. You can add accounts for the majority of e-mail providers, create contacts and tasks, subscribe to internet calendars, use Google Hangouts directly from within the software without having to logging into your Gmail account, assign labels to e-mail threads with different colors. The greatest advantage is that you can purchase a lifetime license at a bargain and receive all future updates for free.

Inconvénients

It lacks official themes and seldom releases feature updates.

Pourquoi choisir eM Client 

I made the switch because I was looking for a more flexible and secure software at a great price.

Pourquoi passer à eM Client

I chose eM Client over this alternative product because I liked the pricing scheme and all features and benefits that it might offer to users.

Avantages

The software is free, and offers many functions and tools.

Inconvénients

When using rules, the synchronisation of new emails from Yahoo mail bugs constantly (mixing emails, uploading them twice). There is absolutely no customer support for the free version.

Avantages

It is comparatively easy to use and has more useful features than more basic programs.

Inconvénients

Searching sometimes doesn't work, or at least seems problematical searching email content area. Email not containing search request yields emails not containing requested terms.

Avantages

This software allows me to manage 3 or more email identities from a single platform. It allows me to organize my saved messages for easy retrieval and long-term record-keeping. It allows me to search and quickly find past messages.

Inconvénients

When Windows reboots the system automatically following an update, if emClient is running, the software has been vulnerable to corruption, and the process of checking and rebuilding the database can be cumbersome. This problem has improved over time, but the program remains vulnerable to sudden shut-downs.

Avantages

Importing the information from google accounts was really easy and we can have local storage of all the emails received which is a really big plus in our use case. Also the syncronization of information is really fast.

Inconvénients

There were some bugs with the syncronization of Google Calendar that luckily were resolved after searching for the solution online but the diagnostics inside of the program could have been clearer.

Avantages

I loved the UI of the email client and that they allowed a few emails accounts in their free version. I loved the price on the full/pro version as well and was going to purchase if it weren't for one large kink....But, I will say this: even though the issues wasn't resolved in my case, the customer support and moderators on their forum were all very helpful and responded pretty quickly. I just wish the issue had been able to be fixed because I really did like the software, functionality/features it offered, and the price point to be able to add all my email accounts.

Inconvénients

I kept having sync error problems with my MS emails and my Gmail. I didn't have 2FA initialized so an app password was not needed. Using my email and login (standard setup) should have worked just fine, but i think that there were syncing or connection issues at the time I used it.

Mailbird

Pourquoi choisir eM Client 

I wanted something with a more modern UI, and slim-lined, a little less features so I didn't get lost in functionality overkill.

Pourquoi passer à eM Client

Didn't have the possible spyware (Facebook plugin) that MailBird has and Mailbird was fairly pricey due to all their features. Mailspring was fine, but then started glitching and never responded to support emails asking questions on how to fix, so I just completely uninstalled that one.

Avantages

It has lots of good features but its bad points outweight the good points

Inconvénients

They now want to charge me for VIP support, when I have had this programme for years and now they want to charge me again when i need help. not acceptable

Avantages

The main feature I was looking for when I found eM Client was the ability in integrate multiple email accounts from different providers into one email client. I reviewed many at the time (including Outlook)and found eM Client to be the best.

Inconvénients

While you have added a theme builder it's not the easiest to use.

Avantages

Simple to setup, intuitive and good feature set.

Inconvénients

It doesn't appear to have a global search (all folders at once)

Avantages

- Fantastic integration with Google calendar and contacts
- Flexible email configuration supporting most email services
- Great support
- Very stable and reliable

Inconvénients

- Email editor is a little limited when compared to some other options

Avantages

It used to be easier in the beginning which is many years ago, as I get older I kind of resist change since it often ends up with problems (not just talking about your product)

Inconvénients

Took me some time to figure out the latest changes when eM Client became colorful.

Avantages

Synchronizes well with Google email and calendar. Easy to use layout with all of the features I want in a combination email, calendar, contacts manager. Pulls up email correspondence chain in separate view. I can customize views, categories, themes, etc.

Inconvénients

Does not have a corresponding Android version. The contacts sync has sometimes resulted in duplicate entries. There is a duplicates tool to remove duplicates but it would be nice to have an easier to use merge contacts function added.

Avantages

- Affordable fair Price. Lifetime license.
- High Security. Updates.
- Practical. Implementation in a reasonable amount of time.
- Reduce time spent on email. Funnel all accounts and emails.
- Support experience went well.
- User forum.
- Updated look.

Inconvénients

- Purchase needed -- features are comparable to free email clients.
- Malfunctions. Performance and reliability were inconsistent. Emails did not synchronize.
- Calendar and filter missing features..

Mailbird

Pourquoi choisir eM Client 

Outlook is not practical and causes time management to suffer.

Avantages

Ich nutze eM Client schon länger und bin bis jetzt absolut zufrieden damit. Das Einrichten der Email Konten ist sehr einfach und klappte ohne Probleme. Auch beim Senden und Empfangen von Mails gibt es nichts zu meckern. Die Benutzeroberfläche der Software wirkt zudem aufgeräumt und übersichtlich. Leider gibt es jedoch bei der Kostenlosen Version erhebliche Einschränkungen beim Funktionsumfang. So lassen sich dort nur maximal Zwei Mail Konten einrichten. Wem das nicht reicht sollte unbedingt die Kostenpflichtige Version nutzen!

Inconvénients

Der erheblich eingeschränkte Funktionsumfang in der Kostenlosen Version!

Avantages

It was mostly familiar in design to what I previously used. I was used to a email client that allowed me to have a large, nested, easily accessible filing system for correspondence.

Inconvénients

I get error messages at times regarding my movement of filed correspondence within the application. I don't know how to correct the problem. Thus, I receive repeated error messages.
Also, when replacing my old tablet computer with a new one, the process for getting the "PRO" version on my new machine was not as clearly defined as I would have liked. I succeeded with Stepan Busek's help.

Avantages

I love that this program is so user friendly. It's essentially the best desktop mail client I've ever used. Easy to navigate, easy to organise and super easy to personalise which is a great feature.

Inconvénients

I'm pretty disappointed that with one of the more recent updates EM Client got rid of Frozen Smart Folders. That was actually one of my favourite features. I use so many folders so that really helped me make the decision to switch from Outlook and when they took that away I considered going back. With the most recent update I am no longer able to save jpg/jpegs from the email which I depend on a lot.

Avantages

It's the best email client I could find. It's clean, simple, easy to use, full of features included. Feels clean and smooth to use. I can use many email accounts in the same platform as if they were just one.

Inconvénients

Nothing at all. I like all aspects of the browser, I can't tell of something I don't like by now. Maybe an option to send recurrent emails would be great, and even greater: an option to automate follow up emails until a reply is received.

Alternatives envisagées 

Mailbird

Pourquoi passer à eM Client

Is most clean, smooth, fastest client in my opinion. Just needed functions are included, not garbage.

Avantages

It integrates all the basic needs to configure email accounts, calendars and company contacts. Simple and fast.

Inconvénients

The backup system can get a bit tedious but it does the job. Importing from other solutions can be slow.

Avantages

functionality cost... was not MS... like wow all email from a sender show up so i can find/delete entire group quick

Inconvénients

MS has to keep having me sign in... mobile app would be nice

Avantages

The simple and clean UI helps me focus on priority emails while staying organized and efficient. The Conversations feature really helps to keep interactions simple and straightforward. The amount of options available is very refreshing, especially for someone as detail-oriented as I am.

Inconvénients

When emails are displayed by conversation, any email with the same subject gets lumped in making it appear as if those emails are part of the same interaction. This can get complicated fast when a colleague includes you in multiple emails to different people with the same subject line. However, once you get used to it, it's easy to ignore.

Avantages

eM Client is very straightforward and easy to use. It is what I like most about this program. I had never used it before this, but within an hour I felt like I had been using it for years. While it does lack the bells and whistles of other email software, it is for that reason that the ease of use is so good.

Inconvénients

I don't really have many cons for this software, but it does lack in overall appearance. The other email software's that I use are easy on the eyes and look aesthetically pleasing. This is not really a con, but more of a personal preference for myself.

Avantages

rules, view's, graphics, basicly, everyfhing was as I wanted and work with this tool was always easy to find etc.

Inconvénients

problem was , the software always was loosing some catalogs with emails and later it was download them again. mails, never was fully downloaded. and sometimes, from last several hours , only some emails was downloaded. others I was need to restart software or get emails by www.
support neber solve this problem.
maybe it was too many email (overt 100k on my account), but not supose to be, there is no limit.

Avantages

eM Client is one of the best email clients on the market, your search for an email is completed. eM Client works perfectly with eg. Gmail where you can sync email, calendar, contacts and tasks without any hassle.

Inconvénients

It would be great if eM Client could save information directly to eg OneNote or Google Keep the same way as Microsoft Outlook can do.

Avantages

I love how fluid the UI is. It makes checking email and understanding it a breeze. The built in calendar in the sidebar is a nice easy to use feature that makes looking at my day at a glance very easy.

Inconvénients

There is a limit of three email accounts for free, which then gets quite expensive. There should be a mid-tier plan.

Avantages

Integrated views of In box, Sent folders, etc. is excellent across many accounts.

Inconvénients

User interface could use a buff. Vertical scroll bars are too thin and difficult to grab; their color contrast (to surrounding elements) is too low. Keyboard shortcut (Ctrl-N) for starting a new message should be available from the New Message window. (Sometimes we think of another note we need to send while in the middle of composing another.) Font and font size should be able to be separate message format tool bar items.

Avantages

Our organization recently started using eM Client, previously we were using Microsoft outlook. And sorry , I don't have any pros to tell but regret and frustration.

Inconvénients

Here you go-
1- totally confused GUI. smart folders , local folders and exported folders all would have inbox. You will wonder why is that ?
2- I experienced a real hard time while setting it up.. I wasted my 5 hours too get to know it basic functions and how we can use things which very simple in outlook.
3- I used to send DSR form outlook daily which is in form of table. When I first start to do that in eMclient , oh my gosh, I can't customize a table , can't merge to rows, can't copy same row with its properties in other rows..
5- if I compare crating an DSR mail avg time in outlook and eMClient , it have 10 min difference.
6- it always ask you whether you forget to attach a file in this mail? Even on a simply two line mail. Zero intelligence lavel lavel.

Avantages

eM Client was easy to set up and synced with most mail services with no problems.

Inconvénients

Calendar features could use some work. Some advanced calendaring features (resources) a bit clunky or non-existent.

Avantages

It's an awesome software and is used in many organizations.
Its interface is very good.
Emails can be written in a good manner.
Different platform than Microsoft Outlook.
Colors used in product are perfect.

Inconvénients

As this software is having different interface than outlook, its not an easy to use.
Sometimes emails having large size attachments takes much time to load.
If a user is viewing an email written from outlook doesn't look good because of the interface.

Avantages

its clean and userinterface is ok, and its possible to cutomize

Inconvénients

after a Resett of windows, the Em Client forced me into upgrading, and I messed up, and lost lots of mails, codes and password stored in email ! The deliberately made a confusing choisce of versions, so I ended up, not accessin my old database, and lost also plannig, many monts ahead. Never trust this comany, the will "trick " you into upgrade, even if they say you pay ONE time !

Avantages

Easy setup of our Google Accounts and the simplicity in some cases.

Inconvénients

The features to catch up with Outlook is slow and makes you wish you still had Outlook no eM Client App for my phone and have to use Outlook on my phone.
The features are hidden or non existed when composing an e-mail.

Avantages

I love the simplicity of set up and use of eM Client. It's easy to use but the feature set is robust. The PGP setup during the process of adding an account is a huge bonus.

Inconvénients

I don't really have anything bad to say about it. Earlier versions were a bit less stable, but they've got it running rock-solid now.

Avantages

Straight forward presentation of inboxes and emails. No fooling around. I particularly like the option of downloading pictures and control of email tracking.

Inconvénients

Nothing, everything I use works. Perhaps if I was a power user I could add something to say.

Avantages

Light weight software. Does not take much memory on your System. Simple software with less feature. Easily available at affordable prices.

Inconvénients

Not much user friendly as Microsoft outlook. It will make you hodgepodge as it is difficult to colour you email or add any animation. Comes with less features. If you restart your system then it will take much time to start as it keeps on taking backups and syncing your mail which is disgusting sometimes.

Avantages

Has a lot of functionality that Outlook had but is much more light weight. It does the stuff you need it to without all of the over complication of other mail clients. Especially like how it allows multiple google calendars to sync seamlessly into one overall calendar. Much better that outlooks tabbed/overlay calendar design.

Inconvénients

Tasks/todo lists could be a little more robust. Adding email senders to handling rules could be better as well.

Avantages

1. Searching is very easy in this product. You can find anything quickly. 2.
Multithreading conversations is off the charts. It's much better than Outlook. They have a window on the right where you can see all prior conversations. 3. The mail handling and searching features are superior to Outlook. 4. Works well with Google Apps. 5. Calendar functionality is almost as good as Outlook.

Inconvénients

1. Contacts are weaker than Outlook. Takes a long time to load. Not overly user friendly. 2. Must store all mail history. In Outlook, Google has a sync download that limits the size of your total inbox.

Avantages

function, optic, it´s very quick, safe

Inconvénients

updates, help

Avantages

Everything . Best email client I ever used

Inconvénients

Slow response when prompting. Heavy for installation

Avantages

The full integration of the client with Gmail emails, calendar, contacts

Inconvénients

The user interface is rigid and needs to be eenewed/modernized

Avantages

eM client is a email based software mostly used for desktop. Sending and receiving emails are easy via this. It provide different type of theme options.

Inconvénients

There are some cons in eM client. It provide only one search for whole application. Search should different for different menu. It is hard to make table in new emails and assign bullets to lines.

Avantages

emClient is fast and much more important robust. It's already proven over several years in daily business. R&D takes into account ideas of users for further development

Inconvénients

I would like to have a chance to configure the design of the displayed address in card view.

Avantages

I liked the clean design and also the integration of calendar. Setting up is pretty easy as it imported my email accounts from Windows mail.
Main feature I was looking for was snoozing of emails, which worked fine.

Inconvénients

Little problem or confusion I had with the "search" function. I think it did not work 100% well across all my accounts. Also the pricing was a bit strange. If I bought 1 license for a 1-time price, why I wouldn't get future upgrades? That means for me that if they issue a new version next year, my will be outdated and I would have to buy new license? I was looking for a one time payment software.

Avantages

The way it runs rules is just amazing, I have sorted my inbox to every key person in our organisation and I dont miss any new notification

Inconvénients

I hate that it has no task manager and the calendar integration is borderline pathetic

Avantages

The software itself is good until you have a problem with it and need support. It's functional and easy to set up.

Inconvénients

The customer support is non existent. They are in another time zone which totally clashes with American time zones, so they expect you to be on your computer at 5 in the morning to get help. When I complained about it, they ignored me completely and now my tickets will go unanswered.

Avantages

I started using eM Client last December when I got my new computer. Sadly enough, Windows Live Email was no longer supported. After doing some research I found this e-mail program to be the best and fit my needs. It allows you to have to e-mail addresses for free. Quite easy to use and set up. Takes some getting used to, but very professional so I can use it for my business needs as well as personal.

Inconvénients

If you don't pay to upgrade it will not always have the latest updates available. I haven't noticed much of a problem with this though. When you first set it up you must follow the instructions properly to convert all your old e-mail addresses and messages. Took me a couple times to get it right.

Avantages

- customizable user interface
- Task tracker is very helpful to follow up on emails
- Easy to switch between email accounts
- Easy to setup

Inconvénients

- Auto-sync may not work sometimes
- The user interface can look cluttered at times due to the lack of separation between the sidebar and the email content

Avantages

The best thing is it synchronize very nicely with g mail and outlook. Recently our organisation switched to Em Clint and it fetched the whole data with all the folders without any loss. Other than that it is simple to use and understand.

Inconvénients

Some times during sync it creates duplicate entries as well other than that they need to improve their user interface and customer services.

Avantages

easy to use, very similar to Outlook, the folder system

Inconvénients

it seems to go "offline" alot and I have to shut down and restart the application. Also, has trouble sending emails with large attachments.
