New "User Profiles" Profile Path Location

If you setup user profiles in the new V10.2 via “Menu / Settings (Preferences) / General / Profiles”, you will get asked for a Profile Path which “basically houses the hidden mail database folder” for that new user.

So suggest to just “first create a folder for your new profile” in your current eg: “Documents / eM Client” folder, and then select that folder as the Profile Path as in the example below.

Also once created, you can also “rename your current profile” if you want from default profile.

Then once created, check the box “Show Profile manager on startup” & save settings.

Then close eM Client and reopen and choose your user profile and setup as new.

Is the only way to switch profiles by restarting the app?
Also, is each profile require a separate license?

No, you can also just click “Launch” at the bottom of the Profiles window. The new user profile then opens in front of your current profile so “you can then toggle” between the profiles.

A menu / switch profile option and / or keyboard shortcut switch profile option would be preferable to have as well “save going into Settings”. If there is one i haven’t found that.

Also, is each profile require a separate license?

No the other user profiles work under the same license.
