I have switched to the windows 11 beta, using msi installer to uninstall version 10 and install beta 11. after install, i removed my exchange account (M365) set to use EWS and created a new exchange account to use Graph (this new method autodiscovers properly now!).
I have noticed 2 problems so far:
Sometimes (not always) I will double click on an email and it will open and then immediately close. I have to double click on it again to open it to read it.
Occasionally I get an error on the exchange sync, this seems to be always calendar. What logging should I enable to better point to the actual error? The window that pops up with the error notice does not really provide any context as to the actual error - the log seems cut off.
as a follow up, no apparent errors with exchange sync any more.
but a new (potentially huge) issue. we have some corporate docs sent as attachments this evening, but I cannot see the attachments in emclient. i CAN see them in outlook and copy them. they are just not there in emclient.
also the email closing immediately after opening is indeed still an issue. seemingly random, it opens and then just closes again and i have to double click to open it again. then it is fine.
Ok what id suggest is if you are using Windows 10 or 11 is to “try doing a clean install with the MSIX Installer” at the bottom of the V11 Beta page link below and then add your accounts as new to see if that makes any difference just to rule out if its anything to do with some upgrade problem with either your previous installation from V10 to V11 or possibly a database problem.
So you would “first close eM Client” and then go to the following hidden database folder and rename it to eg: eM Client-Old.
Windows hidden eM Client database folder)
“Users\yourusername\AppData\Roaming\eM Client”
Then “uninstall eM Client 11” and reboot your computer. Also if the following folder still exists “delete it”, “C:\Program Files (x86)\eM Client”
Then “download the MSIX installer” via the Beta page below & setup new, If the MSIX version also still has the same problems, then i would suggest you email [email protected] .

MSIX only downloads updates tailored to your specific processor architecture and the exact components that have changed
i have done the uninstall/reinstall dance. very inconvenient. hopefully that fixes the issues, but not a good story for upgrading from a previous version installed with .msi.
ah, a side note in case others run across it. my personal email account (imap) which runs on my own email server uses dovecot. it would not connect and sync any email messages, it kept getting a timeout when starting to sync the emails. a little light googling yielded 3 things to try - the one that worked was to uncheck the automatically detect special folder names checkbox (i.e. do not let it detect folder names automagically). as soon as i unchecked that box and applied the settings, it started syncing my emails.
so at least one new issue to report: some emails, when i respond, do NOT show the responded symbol in the list but they do have the typical “you replied to this messasge on…”. why is the visual indicator missing sometimes?
new issue, semi-related to a previous issue: i double click on an email to open it, it opens momentarily like previously, then closes and opens the email before it! is this better than just closing it? i am not sure…
