This morning I fresh booted, opened EM Client, and the very first email I tried to send locked EMC up solid (per the numerous posts above). That’s it - I’m officially done and migrating away from EM Client. I purchased a pro licensed software, and over almost a year of posting about this same consistent freezing issue, I’ve received no actual tech help from any of the actual developers who could easily fix this issue that I can consistently recreate about every 30 minutes.
Over the past several months, EMC has been so unstable that I was having to CTRL+ALT+DEL to force it to restart almost hourly. It was already happening so consistently that I was making it a practice to draft my emails in Word doc before pasting into the emails to be sent! Over the past couple of weeks, I have now set up all of my email signatures and copied all of my drafts, quick texts, etc over to Outlook which has not frozen up on me even once over the past two weeks. Regardless of my sub-par internet connection, VPN active 12+ hours per day, and antivirus in full effect, somehow Outlook has run flawlessly while I can’t even get EMC to work for an hour without locking up. I hate Outlook, but I also have to be able to work!
It looks like the only thing I will ever be using my Pro EMC for in the future is for sending out mass emails. If an actual developer wants to contact me to debug and fix the problem, I would love to see this software operate better, because I honestly did like all the features; but due to the consistent freezing, it’s costing me money at this point, so I have to move on.
It’s been a good run EMC. Will always miss how smoothly EMC 7 ran, but this looks like good-bye for now.
Below is the link to one of my earlier posts about this same issue - could probably be merged into this thread if an admin reads this. At the time of the first post in Feb of 2023, the problem had already been going on for several months (If I remember correctly, it started around the time of the EMC 8 upgrade & was even worse after the EMC 9 upgrade.)
