Pardon me posting this again but it seems all the other posts are rather old.
Well… the backup does work but I would have expected “the best mail client for Windows” to be able to warn the user that it will shut down in x minutes in order to perform the backup. No action from the user shuts down, does the backup and re-starts the program.
The prompt telling me it can’t do the backup because eM Client is running is decidedly “third prize”.
I have noticed that the program detects an un-authorized shut down. If this happens then em Client is “shut down”, the database is checked and eM Client re-starts… Why can the backup not also re-start eM Client once the backup is complete?
Please view this as a “feature request”.
