After setting I use 2 emails (gmail and my domain). I am not able to create new contacts list (folder) for import my old DB of contacts in *.csv format. I do not want to import to Gmail/Contacts. I would like to organize in new list.
When I want to use right mouse button to create New Contact Folder this err msg:
“Specified method is not supported”
Does it able to create new contact folder?

I do not need to create contact folder for gmail account (Google).
Does it possible to create contact folder in eM?
I do not want to import my personal contact to gmail and then to eM.
Just import contacts to eM, not to Google.
Does some way there or mission impossible please?
Thanx.

well you can create new folder under local folders, that will stay only on your computer and will not synchronize to the server.

I am afraid I can not create local folder. Would you be so kind and explain to me HOW?
I have @gmail account and @mydomain account. I can see just only gmail contact folder in CONTACT on the right. I do not know where is the local folder I can create new contact list in.
When I want to create new folder under mydomain account and specify folder for contacts, It will change mydomain to gmail account and no able to create new contact folder under @mydomain. Msg err: Specified method is not supported.
I realy do not know how can I import my personal contacts into eM. I am not able create any contact folder.
Do you know how it works?
Thanx in advance for help.
Hi,
you can simply enable Local folders in eM Client settings under the menu Tools - Settings - General. Tick the option “Show local folders” and click OK. Then open Contacts and create new contact folder under Local folders by right clicking the root Local folder and choosing “New contact folder”.
Hope it helps you.
Yeah.
I have got it.
Thank you.
This is the shot: Tick the option “Show local folders”
Everything works.
Thanx again Jan.

Hi.
Is there a way to store contacts on server folder?
Can I create folder not localy and store contacts in it?
I would like to synchronize contacts in my three computers; home, office and secound office. And I would like to have contats everywhere the same…
Regards
To create a Server folder, “right click on your email account in Contacts” and click “New Contact Folder” as in the below Gmail example. The folder will then be synced online the same.
Then once the new folder is created, you can either “drag existing contacts into it”, or “click on the new folder” and create new contacts.
I do not have email on gmail…
I have email boxes on dedicated server in OVH.
ps. there is no problem to create folder in my email account (see attachment). Question is how to store contacts on it. em Client does not allowed to do it. It allowed to store it on local folder only…

Gmail was only an example.

You can normally only create a new contacts folder online (in a separate contacts section) of your online account (or under your account in eM Client Contacts section) linked to your online account “unless your online account is limited / restricted to only email” in which case you will have to create them locally in eM Client Contacts / Local Folders as you said.
Most mail servers have a separate contacts / people section like Microsoft, Gmail, Yahoo, or Custom Exchange servers etc to create custom contact folders for any contacts you choose.
So I would suggest to contact your OVH mail server tech support to see if they have a separate contacts option / section available or plugin for your online mail server account to do that. Tell them you are wanting to create custom contact folders online to then use in an email client.
Thank you for your commitment but I don’t think we understand each other. My mail server is built on ‘postfix’. This is the most stable system that supports mail servers. The incoming protocol is handled by IMAP - something very similar to the protocol used on gmail, and the outgoing protocol is SMTP. As far as I can tell, you can create directories via IMAP but only to handle mail and not to store contacts in it. This is different for Microsoft, Gmail, Yahoo but these are systems. And I am writing about a standard server running under postfix with a standard IMAP protocol.
Contacts don’t sync with IMAP. That is the same for all servers. Those folders are for messages only.
Rather, with your provider they will probably be synced using the CardDAV protocol.
Go to the Contact section of eM Client (CTRL + 3) and see if there are folders there for your account. If there are, you can create contacts in those folders.
If not, you will need to add the CardDAV account. You will find full instructions for adding accounts in the Documentation (F1) under Getting Started.
Thank you for your response. Now I know, what I have to do.
Ok, the contacts folder on the external server is up and running. CardDAV works well on the popular NextCloud. OK, first part successfully configured.
Now the second question; eM Client is installed on three independent computers (work, home and production). Is it possible for the eM Client to automatically download the configuration settings when started? Not all of them of course, but for example filters. If I create an email filter, I need to export it to each of the computers. Not only that, when I modify this filter (for example, when I add another email address to the filter) I have to re-export it to the other computers. If these filters were available online, I would not have to do this after each modification. I am keen for this to work similarly to gmail. No matter where I log in, everywhere the service will look and work the same…
