Em Client not usable anymore

1

Well, I used to use em client for years but recently they have changed the way it merges with windows.
As far as I know, the mail client should always be there, minimized, so that you are notified when new mail arrive. and when I shut down windows, I shouldnt bother opening the program and shut it down before I shut down windows. All other mail clients behave like this, when it s minimized, windows just shuts them down with no data damage. Outlook does that, Mailbird does that, Thunderbird does that. but with em client, I should do 2 extra steps before shut down windows, I should first open em client, press the X button to close, then shut down windows. If I dont do that, next time you open em client you have a data corruption.
The 2nd issue is, normally with all other mail clients, even when I shut down windows when they are minimized, next time I open the client they open normally, why does em client insist on starting it minimized just because it was minimized the last time ??? this is stupid.

So I simply stopped using em client, I use now Mailbird, it s a solid program with no issues at all.
And em client team… congratulations… you are just losing more clients day after day.

Hi there,
For those who find it hard to open emclient and close the app each time you wana close windows, I ve come with a simple script that does that for you. So you just click the shortcut for the script (it maximizes Emclient and close it gracefully), then you shut down windows. Next time you open Emclient there is no corrupted data.
here is the script, it requires AutoHotKey to be installed first (a small app really)…

Run “C:\program files (x86)\em client\mailclient.exe”
WinWaitActive, FirstWindowTitleHere, 2 ; 2 second timeout added for testing
Send, !{F4}

Cheers.
