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.

Pretty good now, but ..

The app is still painfully slow on actually downloading messages - especially, it seems, from gmail, when compared to the desktop version. The background update also seems flawed; I’ve got the client installed on desktop, iPhone, and iPad, and if I collect and read (imap) messages on the desktop, the ‘unread’ indicators don’t update, nor, if I read them on the iPad, does the iPhone update .. until the app itself is opened. The desktop version appears to be ok.

Unreliable

Mail not current and takes up to 10 minutes to sync. Desktop is much better.

Super slow with Google Workspace accounts

I switched to em Client from Spark in the hope of faster search performance when looking for specific messages in my Google Workspace accounts. I’ve been sorely disappointed and won’t be renewing my subscription. EM Client is not just slow at search; it fails altogether to find messages that are quickly surfaced by a search in Apple’s free Mail app. Worse, eM Client now takes minutes just to update my inbox when I open the app. That effectively makes it unusable. This app’s developers should stop larding it up with niche features and optimize it for speed, because it is SSLLOOOOWW!
