I want to recommend in my company using eM Client - mostly because it’s fast search feature, but also because is one of best email clients today. Except I have two problems, based on experience of using free version of this program.
First of all - some email servers requires specific method of authentication. And eM Client, as I noticed and as many other mail client do, trying to authenticate account using methods from most secure to less secure. Unfortunatelly, some servers have problem with that tries and reject authentication just after first try. I have that problem years ago when I was using Eudora, but that program has some hidden options including force authentication method for account and even if it was difficult to find, I finally resolve that problem. Other programs have drop-down list of authentication methods including “auto” which first time check for type of authorization and then save that type as default for account. As I noticed - eM Client do not do that and with some servers always returns error, even if after second try can get emails. Bugs like that are annoying and I understand that mail client these days should be user friendly, but this is basic option. I am not lazy person, I can search forum before I post, but I found one posts without answer from long time, so my question is - can I request that feature before I buy pro licenses or I must buy pro license and then get info that “we’ll maybe do it in the future”?
Second problem - every email program I know has possibility to search by attachment’s filname. eM Client can’t do that. Some programs can detach attachments while receiving email and put them into separate directory, so I can access that dir and find attachment by it’s name using filemanager. But eM Client also have no that funtion. I know that for personal emails that may be not so important, but searching attachments by their filenames is very important in companies that uses attachments as most important part of email. So if eM Client can’t detach attachment while receiving email (and can’t attach file in-the-fly while sending, without permanently merge attachment with message body) is at least possibility to add option to search by attachments’ filenames?
Also small question - where are special codes for templates? For example - I want to put my cursor in specific place of message - how can I do that? Why I cannot edit templates like I want - with settings of original message position (so I can, for example, add somethnig after that and still can put signature above original message and place cursor between initial “Good morning” and “regards”)? It should be possible if it’s seventh version of this program.
And last, but not less important - where are tabs? Who uses modern programs without tabs? Separate windows mode may be nice for some users, but give people a choice, please. I want one, single task on taskmanager, not separate every window.
I hope someone answers me these question, so I’ll can answer later questions in my office when we decide to buy this software.
