Almost total failure after update to v9

As I mentioned, when it was happening, both computers with v9 failing, but my phone was still getting emails, also another computer with Thunderbird was working fine. Also, the 4 other people who are different people to me, different mail servers etc etc. All after upgrading to v9.

Don’t worry about this, as obviously nobody is taking a v9 fault seriously. I can add that after the email sent to myself on each computer, there have been no further issues.

Haven’t had that issue myself. Suggest you create a new post, and someone may help.

Hi Grant. Just for the record, the topic says: " Almost total failure after update to v9". For me a force closure after the upgrade belongs to this thread, even though it says “almost…”, that said, whatever that makes you happy. I will consider reporsting it somewhere else.

I to am having problems with V9. Some read emails have disappeared. Also, my signature which I was able to add using CTRL 1 is gone. I can’t seem to locate where to rebuild it. This is very frustrating.

Hi Gary, it just happened for a short time, and then went away. There is quite a bit in the log in the seconds around when the failure happened, but the following seems to show the error.

It is unbelievable that after several days of complains from multiple people with clear examples of cases where the server were working, there is still the blame to others instead of recognizing the issue with the infamous release 9, and fixing it!

Before anyone from emClient tries to blame our mail server, THERE IS NOTHING WRONG WITH THE SERVER. I can still send and receive emails from my phone. ( Lucky that doesn’t use emClient )

Also, I have loaded v8 onto another computer and it is working fine. ( No Red Triangle on v8. Two comuters with v9, and both have Red Triangle. )

Any update or do we have to go back to Version 8 to achieve stability?

I have supplied logs and evidence, and Version 8 does not have these connection problems.

My main computer is totally faulty today with Red Triangle but laptops on Version 8 and Version 9 are working fine.

My main computer is totally faulty today with Red Triangle but laptops on Version 8 and Version 9 are working fine

Interesting your laptops with V8 and V9 are working fine, but not your main computer with presumably the same eM Client versions & settings.

What’s different on your main computer ? as if you run the same eM Client versions as your laptops it also should be working.

Do you run any different optional software on your main computer like eg: optional firewall / security programs, optional antivirus programs, VPNs etc.

Also does the main computer run via the same modem router wired or wireless.

Main computer and Laptop are sitting hear in office, on same OS (Windows 11), same internet, same AVG and no VPN or any special security. The only thing different is that the desktop also connects to one of our clients Microsoft Exchange email server. That doesn’t seem to be faulty. However, since v9, the laptop has been faulty as well, it is only today, that the laptop is exhibiting a difference to the main computer.

Since it had totally stopped today, I need my email working. I recovered the complete emClient Program folder and Roaming folder database from our offsite backups, and so am back on Version 8. It is working perfectly like that.

Sounds like then you might be best atm sticking with V8 as that works for you ok till you get feedback on your logs.

Well yes, and it would be great if I even knew they are looking at my logs. So far communications are totally pointing away from anything at emClient v9, even though I and many other people have proven that v9 is problematic.

Yet many of us does not have any of these problems with v9, and the problems reported seems to be different. Though there’s some reports on connectivity/authentication issues, it’s different protocols (IMAP, POP3, SMTP) so they’d need to dig down and figure out what’s going on in different cases. My guess is the devs are working on it. If all these is indeed related, my guess would be that there’s been some change in TLS/ciphers etc, giving olders servers trouble. Yet that would not explain problems that come and go … So, I just wish the devs best of luck. :innocent:

This update is horrible, and almost makes eM Client useless. Will there be a patch update to fix all the issues. I can count to 10 before an email sends now.

Do you have this set to ~10 seconds?

I just found out that after the last update, Avast Antivirus is blocking emClient and need to be stopped to allow communication (get the red triangle and “no connection with server” message). I have two other email clients without a problem with the antivirus, so there is something odd with emClient that is triggering Avast to block.

So there is something odd with emClient that is triggering Avast to block

Avast is known to block alot of mail clients and you need to disable the mail scanning part (Core Mailshield) to allow eM Client to work.

Yes, seen the same with Avast and Thunderbird upgrades previously.

Do as cyberzork recommends … :slight_smile:

We have been working with emClient last couple of days, and others have found similar, that there is a conflict with AVG/Avast. I found a process at AVG that exports a certificate, which you then import into emClient. Am testing this today. If ok, I will update with the process.
