Absolutely non functional
Response from developer
Hi, thank you for your review. Unfortunately, new messages can only be downloaded once you open the app. Apple allows background syncing for its own apps (and some selected big names, such as Gmail) but not for third-party apps like eM Client, so the actual download of the message can happen only once the app is opened. To be notified about new mail in the meantime, please make sure push notifications are enabled in the app (Settings > Accounts > your account > Preferences > Notifications > Use Push notifications) and allowed in iOS (Settings > Notifications > eM Client > "Allow Notifications"). The notifications should show up in real time, and then when you open the app you get the full message. If new messages still reach you late, please contact our mobile app support team at mobile@emclient.com with your OS version, app version and the email address and email provider of the account this issue happens with, and we'll be happy to look into it. Thank you!
Too many top actions take too many steps
Response from developer
Hi, thank you for your review and for the detailed suggestions. Swipe actions are already configurable in Settings > Preferences > Swipe. For quicker access to Move to Junk, you can add it as a swipe action (swiping then shows three options: Move to Junk, Move to Junk and blacklist email, and Move to Junk and blacklist domain), or add it to the toolbar that appears when you select messages in Settings > Preferences > Toolbars > Mail > Multiselect mode - you can add any other actions you use often there as well, which you then activate by long-tapping any message. If you’d like more than one swipe action for each direction, feel free to vote for the related request on our Sleekplan: https://emclient.sleekplan.app/feedback/144133. Folder sync already works this way: the Inbox and the folder you open are always synced first, and the other folders follow the sync interval. For IMAP accounts, all Inboxes use IDLE connection, which means we should know about any new message right away because the server should report it immediately. If your Inbox doesn’t stay up to date, please let our mobile app support team know at mobile@emclient.com with your OS version, app version, and the email provider of the affected account. Thank you!
I would away - EM client scans your email for content
The Support claim that it doesn't, but it still scans the emails and applies tags based on the content. This is not a privacy focused app, and in fact it's quite the opposite it is anti-privacy. Under no circumstances would I recommend this email unless you wish to give your email content to this company.
Disabled Touch Screen on iPhone
good but...
Finally found it - the perfect email client?!
An unrestricted, multi-IMAP, responsive, modern email client that “syncs” well between desktop and mobile.
Love the clean layout and organization. Puts all the platform built-ins to shame.
Not integrating properly
Sync too slow
Email Issue with was resolved
Response from developer
Hi, thank you for your feedback. We're sorry to hear you've had issues with the app. Please reach out to our mobile app support team at mobile@emclient.com and let us know your OS version, app version, and which providers' accounts are affected. We'll make sure to look into it. Thank you!
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.
Excellent!
Slow and unstable at times
Response from developer
Hi, thank you for your feedback. We're sorry to hear that your experience with the app hasn't been smooth. If you're experiencing synchronization issues, please reach out to our mobile app support team at mobile@emclient.com and let us know your OS version, app version, and that your Outlook and Gmail accounts are affected - we'll be happy to help you troubleshoot. Regarding the combined All inboxes folder - please mention this issue to our support team as well, we'll look into it. If you're not a fan of the AI features and don't want to use them, we will always keep the option to disable them. But many users do rely on AI now, so we try our best to provide it in a useful but secure way as well. We're glad to hear you like our security and privacy features - please rest assured that we plan on prioritizing user security and privacy going forward, as we always have.
Latest Version Doesn’t work on iPad
I reinstalled it…worked normally for two days, then the same problem. It’s serious and it’s unusable in its current form.
so much better than the usual options
Great features but app is unreliable and unusable
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
No useful calendar

Hi, thank you for your feedback. We're sorry to hear that your experience with the app hasn't been smooth, but you don't need to use a review to get our attention. You can always contact our support team at mobile@emclient.com (for the mobile app specifically) or info@emclient.com (for the desktop app or generic questions) in case of any issues, and we will be happy to assist you. Please reach out to our mobile app support team and let us know which synced calendar account you have set up, so we can help you troubleshoot and find a solution.

Finally a better Mail client
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
Response from developer
Hi, thank you for your review - we’re glad you’ve switched over and are enjoying the app! Watch for replies is actually already available in the mobile app: while writing a message, tap the eye icon in the bottom toolbar of the compose window. If you don’t see it there, it’s under the three-dots icon in the bottom toolbar, and you can make it always visible via the three-dots icon > Customize toolbar. You can also turn it on for a message you’ve already sent: long-tap the sent message > tap the three-dots icon > Watch for reply. Detecting tasks and events from emails is planned for the mobile app as well. New features from eM Client 11 are being brought to the mobile app incrementally - just like with the development of the mobile app as a whole, we have to add them in smaller waves, as too many big changes at once can cause unexpected issues across different devices. Mobile platforms are also more restrictive than desktop - this affects even how quickly Google and Apple allow us to push out updates if something goes wrong - so we always have to weigh priorities and move in smaller, more careful steps. If you have any questions in the meantime, feel free to reach out to our mobile app support team at mobile@emclient.com. Thank you for your understanding!
