Cant connect to Gmail nor Hotmail

Every time I log on to my PC windows 10 I now receive a dialog-box from eM Client informing that it cant connect to Gmail, and Hotmail accounts. Why? Anyone knows why? When I click to explore I can confirm that the infhttps://forum.emclient.com/ os are correct, and do nothing more. ![](https://d2r1vs3d9006ap.cloudfront.net/s3_images/1307433/RackMultipart20151108-28038-q4ewrf-Screenshot 39 inline.png?1447014969 “Image https//d2r1vs3d9006apcloudfrontnet/s3_images/1307433/RackMultipart20151108-28038-q4ewrf-Screenshot__39__inlinepng1447014969”)

I suspect that, when you first log on, eM client is attempting to synchronize with your email server before your computer has established an internet connection. If I am correct, you only get this error message when you first log on and then everything seems to work properly after you close the error window. Also, if I am correct, then this is annoying but otherwise innocuous. You can probably get rid of the problem by:

  1. not having eM load at startup, or
  2. going to Settings > General  and unchecking “Synchronize items at startup”

Let me know if this helps.

oh! I see… hmm yes could be you’re correct! Yes, the eM starts up by itself automatically and I’d like to change this. I dont want the eM to start up automatically. Would you know how to do this?.. Thanks a lot for such rapid answer.

Try this:

(Windows Key) + x  > Task Manager > Startup Tab. Find and highlight “eM Client” and click “Disable” in the lower right corner.

See if that does it.

Also, and definitely easier:

In eM Client go to Settings > General and uncheck “Run on Windows Startup”

Yes that was the most simple way. Thanks a lot Norman.
