For us mobile users the ability to set up and save multiple smtp mail server separate from the incoming POP or IMAP server would be great. This would work like the Thunderbird e-mail client.
When I move from client to client I can use their wireless but with eM-client changing smtp servers means I have to modify my mail account instead of just selecting an already saved smtp server from the list.

SMTP still fails on Verizon.
Same settings work on Outlook, Thunderbird, KomaMail, and any other client I’ve tried.
I hoped this would be fixed in version 3!

Hi.
We need to get the communication logs that will show us where exactly problems happen. Here are the instruction on how to get them:

  1. Create directory “C:\Temp”
  2. Download the MailClient.exe.config.zip file from http://www.emclient.com/tools/System… and extract it into eM Client directory (“C:\Program Files\eM Client” or “C:\Program Files (x86)\eM Client” depending on your system)
  3. Run eM Client, it will create the log file in C:\Temp\eMClientTrace.log

Please follow the steps above and send us the eMClientTrace.log file. All your privacy will be preserved. The address is [email protected].
Thanks.

OK, sent you my log file.

I still miss an opportunity, notes / memo to store each message.
Or edit the received messages.
If this option is given, I will emClient Buy now!

Have you made it so Calendar reminders can be set earlier than 2 days prior? (And yes, I know Tasks can be set that way; I’m not asking about those.)
I realize you got that 2 day thing from Outlook, but it has no clear correlation to reality. (Really, there’s no event that requires more than 2 days notice? Because I can think of hundreds–conferences, weddings, etc.)

Yes, now reminder can be set up to 2 days. In version 3.1 there will be longer period.

How do Communications History & Contacts link to email messages?

Communication History appears to be linked to a Contacts email address and seems to be case sensitive.

I have received emails where, for some unknown reason, the case of senders email address has changed. Now the email address that is stored with the Contact doesn’t match the email address in the message. This results in multiple groups for the same person when grouping by “From” field and items not showing in the Communication History due to the case difference.

Any chance of making this linking feature ignore case so this doesn’t happen?

I’m currently evaluating eM Client as a replacement for MS Outlook at my company and certain it will become our default email package!

Thanks,

John

It seems the Global Inbox is no longer showing (1) all of my accounts or (2) e-mails as they arrive (which do show in the specific account’s folder).

This will be fixed in the final build.

When is the new release date and what improvement or fixes have your team addressed?
SMTP problems, unable to authenticate occasionally, IMAP delay etc.

Milos, Thanks for the response. So when will 3.1 be out, and what sort of longer periods will be available for calendar notifications?

Version 3.1 will be out in couple of months. But maybe this change will be included in the one of the patches (in this case it would be sooner). Particular ranges are under consideration. What would you suggest?

What happens to a stable version 3.0? Now we are talking about version 3.1!

Hi Michal, Any updates to release date?

In version 3.0 will be maximum period 2 days. Longer period will be added in version 3.1 or as I said in the patch to the version 3.0. Is it clear now?

Final version of 3.0 is here:

Thank you. Why the website still showing version 3.0 as Beta and Current version: 2.7.8313.0
