Great features but app is unreliable and unusable
I've used em client on Windows since it began and pay for it. Great features and design. It is my favorite desktop email client by far. It is also quite good on Android.
The iOS implementation which I run in iPad mini with iOS 26.6 is unusable.
It freezes. It doesn't send emails reliably. It takes forever to download emails. It's formatting goes weird, with message headers in the account view inexplicably indented at random. I need a reliable, predictable, stable email client for my work.
I'm very saddened that I have to go back to the inferior Gmail app.
If anyone reads this, I suggest also that you find a way to implement the official Gmail API like Wundermail does. It will affect problems to do with aliases (across the desktop Windows environment too).
Thanks to the team at em client, and I hope that you are able to get the iOS version to the same excellent standard of your Windows client.

Come on
There is no reason - none whatsoever - for A: inbox refreshes to take such a pathetically long time; and B: basic search to take such a pathetically long time. I have seen a number of “responses” from devs saying that it’s being worked on, but as of now that just seems to be a balloon full of air instead of anything of substance.

No useful calendar
I gave it a one star review to try to get the attention of the developers because they don’t seem to get it. If we get a calendar link in an email, we can only put it in a stupid local Calendar on that device. What use is that? And their share option doesn’t go to Calendar, as any competent programmer would do. Seems to be no way to add to your calendar.

Calendar
Can you improve the calendar? Now the calendar do not shows days number?
Finally a better Mail client
so far the best proper email client I have come across for iOS. Previously I used K9 when I had Android. eM Client is as good as K9.
I did some tests to verify that the IMAP & SMTP connections were sent from my IP address when using this client and these were, instead of being proxy through somebody else's service like so many other clients do.
I can actually see the full source of the emails and head as I so wish. Push notifications don't work unless you use the push notification through their servers, but unfortunately this is only limitation of iOS. So far so good.

So much better than outlook
Took off a star because there doesn’t seem to be a watch for reply option on mobile but otherwise this app is great, I’ve completely switched over from outlook which is nothing but frustrating. Also needs a way to create an event from a date in emails
An Amazing Email Client
This email program is the email program I've been looking for for years. It's clean and modern looking, full featured, and very easy to use.
I love how easy it is to drag your emails wherever you need them from directly onto your desktop to placing them in whatever folders you have set up. This was a several step process with my old email program.
If I had any complaints at all is that with no contact number or chat option, customer service is a little hard to come by. The only option you have as a free customer is through email, but they have proven to be pretty responsive.
I'm thrilled to have stumbled across this email client. It's exactly what I've been looking for and I'm really happy I found it.

Will not work!
After trying numerous times & different methods, it refuses to set up. Useless!!
No Customer Service
I wanted to love this email client. I was looking for a simple to use program with a simple, modern appearance. It had several other features that I wanted that my other email client was lacking. I simply could not get my outgoing mail (SMTP) set up to work. I spent over a solid days work researching things, ChatGPT and close to 3 hours in 3 separate calls seeking help from my internet provider to no avail. That's fine. Things sometimes happen. The problem is is that this company has little to no direct customer support. No phone number. No chat. There's only email and others have said that they either won't get back to you at all, or it takes forever.
This program has turned out to be more aggravating than it's worth.

Problems with office365 ‘Outlook’ calendar
I’m a big fan of the emClient apps. However, since moving my email, calendars and contacts from iCloud to an Office365 ‘Outlook’ account the calendars no longer get synced fully. This is an iOS and a Windows desktop problem. I suspect Microsoft’s eternal changing of their protocols is to blame, but emClient needs to keep up. I had to move to the Outlook apps. No choice. It’s a shame.

Goodbye Outlook
After an increasing number of very serious problems with Outlook caused by MicroSlop, I’ve dumped it as the problems have become intolerable. I did quite a bit of research and really like the desktop version of eM Client. This iPhone version is OK except that it is extremely slow! Why? I have no idea. Surely, something must be done fix it. If not, I’ll be forced to find another client to use with my email on my iPhone. I hope not so please fix this!

Quality
Switched to eM Client after having issues with my previous mail client that synced data to their cloud. Was looking for something simple without relying on a third party connection. Using the eM iOS app and windows all now. The QR code import is a super convenient feature. iOS version is free, but I bought a lifetime license for windows app the same day. The good reviews online about eM Client are accurate.

Really impressive mail client
I use the outlook office 365 mail app on my laptop and desktop. Microsoft is pushing to use the new Outlook which is terrible. Missing many features. And the Outlook classic is fine. But has limitations. For me I have test seed accounts and Outlook crashes. So use eM client for my seed accounts. My company uses Rackspace for email and eM client is awesome for use on iPad for my work account. I like the native mail app for iPhone. Not for iPad. eM client to the rescue for a nice free iPad mail app. I pay em client for my laptop and desktop. It’s great. Impressive features.

Extremely slow
Extremely slow in updating inboxes. Averages between 5-10 minutes, which makes it unreliable. It has been this way for a long time. Yet, their routine updates don't address this problem which many users have noted through reviews for a very long time.
Great email client and keeps getting better
I got this app a while back and liked it. I am just returning after trying 4 others and thinking, “I’m going to give that other one another try.” This app really checks all the boxes: easy searching, ability to not sort by conversation but view the conversation easily once I open the email, snippets, templates, signatures, calendar, notes…..etc. It really has come a long way and looks like the one I am keeping. Glad I was able to get the lifetime price! Thank you Dev for offering lifetime!!

Best App Email client
Best email client with PGP encryption. love this. My favorite.
Excellent client; lacks appearance customization
This has quickly become my preferred client for both iOS and desktop. Editing HTML directly in composition and signature editing makes it really easy to write a custom signature that can be copied across devices.
All I ask is for this app to fully leverage OLED displays. The gray background is very stale, and really just decreases contrast while increasing power draw.

Falls a bit short due to lack of month to month calendar scrolling.
Was prepared to love this app after using desktop version. Many great features. No month to month scrolling on the calendar was the deal killer for me. Will be using this only for my non primary account.
A total outlook iOS replacement and more
Don’t let the low number of reviews for you. This app is awesome. It is a total replacement for the outlook iOS app it can do contact editing notes and much more. Also it has the ability to zoom text only inside the app so you do not need to use the iOS app control panel to zoom in only for this app only. It has the same type of integration for Gmail and others. Another positive in my opinion is that it is not loaded I junk you’re not forced to use AI. Ai isn’t popping up all over the place that is a big plus In my opinion. All the other mail programs force AI into the mailbox into the contact selection. This does not.

Slow and no push notifications
The client is nice and has a much needed feature with M365 accounts (delegate access). However, it is super slow and push notifications never come thru. It still has a way to go.
