Don't doubt this app
I found the desktop app in 2012. Even back then eM Client was doing things no other mail client was doing, and doing other things better. It's all I've used ever since. There's some early feedback in other reviews about apparent issues with the first release of the iOS app. I'm experiencing some of the same things, but I think it's worth pointing out that they could have turned out an under-baked iOS app any time they wanted. Instead, they waited and gave us something that truly displayed their desire to live up to the desktop experience that made many of us excited to give this app a try. If messages or message notifications are slow to come in right now, you can trust they will prioritize a fix. Just give them sufficient time. In the meantime, go through all the settings. There's a depth of control that is surprising for a mobile mail client, and you just might find something that allows you to fix an issue that appeared to be a bug at first.joj5541
Not Ready For Daily Use, Email Sync Errors
My devices: iPhone 12 Pro on iOS 17.5 and iPad on iOS 16.7.8. My connectivity is 1gig wifi and 5G cellular data. The eM Client app is set up with 2 email accounts Yahoo and Gmail. The issue I have is that the email accounts will sometimes refresh and load emails, but most often I get errors from the email server or an offline error from the app. This problem is happening over and over on both iOS devices. No matter what I do I cannot get email to consistently load without errors. My other email clients on the same iPhone and iPad load the same accounts quickly without error. I believe eM Client has potential as a good email app but the way it is now leaves a lot to be desired.Scott1155
Thrilled about this
The em client desktop app is one of the best available given its ability to fully customize so many elements. Thrilled it has now expanded to mobile where there are very few good email apps that provide full functionality. Even Google’s Gmail app is pretty basic. Hope that this one sticks around!jaholnes
Slowly improving
Love the desktop version and been beta testing this for months. Been seeing slow improvements but wish more frequent updates. Otherwise it’s the best email client I’ve found.
Have some issues where I have to force close the app to get my emails back or send emails.
Really wish I can change links to open in default browser however if I long tap it and press open it works that way.J_Jeff007
Developer Response
Hello Jeff, there is a setting (Settings->Read->Open links in external browser) for opening links in the default browser.Almost There
Would be perfect if badges and push notifications worked properly. Badges do not work at all unless the app is actually open. Background refresh is non-existent. No issues with any other features, but this prevents me from fully switching over.MindArchr
Great potential
I used this program on my PC for years and really liked it. This new IOS version is close to being my new default email app. Features I love include the ability to translate content inline (I correspond with French companies frequently) and then write a reply in English that can again be translated inline. This is a really great feature for my needs. The only negative I have at the moment is it takes quite a while to check for new email. It’s still relatively fast but compared to other apps, it’s not in the same league. Anyway, I’m excited about this app.Steven Dempsey
No Push Notiications
Love the product and have used the desktop for several years now, which made it a no brained to download this. The issue is that you do receive any push notifications or alerts on new emails. It will on my refresh when you open the app and not in the background.SRama851
Good. Needs some polish and features
The background refresh needs to be optimized so it has my new messages already waiting for me instead of waiting 30 seconds for it to check all my inboxes. Custom notification sounds would be nice also. Overall pretty solid for a first mobile outing! I look forward to the updatesMrsco
Perfect, except...
I love this email client, it is simple and clean and full of the right features without the clutter of unneeded graphics or unnecessary extras. Only one problem, I can't find any way to add a password app. I would like an option for it to require TouchID to open and then if TouchID fails to use a password to open (not the phone ID but a separate password). Seems crazy to have all the PGP capability but no password protection on the app. Aside from that it is great and the setup is a breeze, love the QR code setup option.Hotfoot111
Great first effort
I am delighted to have EM Client, which I use on my desktop computer on Mobile Device. The transfer was seamless and pretty much worked right away. Privacy Policy of no data collected is as I expect from an email client.
This is a first release, so I know there will be a lot of work to be done. At this time, I am having trouble downloading .eml attachments. The download is stuckA fervent user
