Leap Year Issue again?

1

I seem to have the ‘leap year bug’ as well. I can start emClient but as soon as I click on Calendar in the left hand pane emClient crashes with the following dump (excerpt) in the error window. Incidentally, changing the system date did not ‘fix’ this issue for me and this suddenly started at 12.20 a.m. this morning (29th Feb) - the first time I used emClient after midnight. When I click on Calendar I get a small calendar appearing in the left hand pane with 29th Feb highlighted (see screenshot). emClient clearly cannot cope with a date it doesn’t think exists. Database corruption checks etc on restart are fine.

eM Client (6.0.24316.0)
Windows: Microsoft Windows NT 6.2.9200.0, Framework: 4.0.30319.42000

This is the identical error that my wife and myself have both had this morning. It is quite clearly a leap year bug

Hi,
there is a bug in the month view of the program that manifested with the leap year.
This update should fix the issue: http://www.emclient.com/dist/v6.0.249…

Regards,
Olivia

That worked. Thanks for fixing the problem.

Perform the following steps.
Exit eM.
Set your system date to February 28.
Start eM.
GO to Calendar and select ANY view except Month view. I prefer Week view.
GO back to mail.
Exit eM.
Reset system date to February 29.
Start eM.
Everything should work but do NOT go to Month view. It will immediately experience an application error.
Hope this helps.
