Most iOS peeps i know use the built-in “Mail” app to access their IMAP Cloud accounts.
I have the same question…
If you would like to have an eM Client mobile app rather than using the built-in iOS Mail app , then click on this thread which also has info a mobile app is in the pipeline. Hopefully won’t be too far away.
is there an emclient app for the iphone?
Not available at the moment, but both Android and iOS versions are currently under development.

Earlier this year we did release beta versions for both Android and iOS. An iPadOS version will come later.
You can find out more here: Come test the Beta version of eM Client for iOS and Android | eM Client
I will just add that I am testing the iOS app on an iPad, and it is already easing towards being a proper iPad app. It now uses the full screen, for example, whereas the very early version were clearly phone apps.
Its not ready but I would say that it is already better than some released iPad email apps I have seen 
I was a Postbox user who switched over a couple of months ago. I’m now using the eM Client on my iPhone and iPad. It’s different from the built in mail app, but I’m getting used to it and I like being able to have the same look on all my devices.
Here’s something I’ve run into, though. If I tag an email on my desktop (let’s say “Reply”) it will show the tag on my iPad and iphone. However, if I click the Reply tag to see only those emails with that tag, the results come up empty. The email says it’s tagged, but the ios app doesn’t recognize it when searching for emails with that tag. Tag settings seem to be local so I’ve made sure that the tags on my ios devices are the same, and listed in the same order as on my desktop.

As you can see the same tags appear in the iOS app “after creating them on eM Client desktop”, then sounds like you have a cloud based server account and all your mail folders “are under your cloud based account”, and are on a supported eM Client tag based server.with "Gmail, IceWarp, Exchange, Dovecot, and Imageway accounts”
So this might be happening if eg: your account messages setup in the iOS device “is not all 100% synced yet with the server” so carnt find them.
How long ago did you setup the iOS app ?
Also what type of mail server account do you have, and what company hosts your mail acct ?
Also are all your eM Client desktop mail folders under your cloud mail account, or are any messages in your desktop in Local folders ?
Hi,
Thanks for your reply. I’m afraid I wasn’t clear about the situation. When I created tags on my desktop, I had to create them on my iPhone and iPad. They didn’t appear automatically. I have four accounts running on my desktop. On my ios devices I have those four plus one more. The account that gets the most use is an Xfinity account, i.e. Comcast.net. Of the other three, one is gmail and the other two are not gmail.com but are accounts under a specific domain, however, those accounts are also run through Google (Gsuite).
If I tag an email on my desktop with,for example, “Reply”. a tag that exists on all my devices, I can see the “Reply” tag on all my devices. If I filter by the “Reply” tag on my desktop, the tagged email appears. If I filter by the “Reply” tag on my ios devices, the email does not appear. If I look at the email in the list of emails, the tag is there. If I open the email, it shows the tag, but if I filter on the ios devices, the filter doesn’t see that email.
The really strange thing is that I have a few other tags and some behave like this, and others work ok. This may be a limitation of Xfinity as tags used on my gmail/GSuite accounts seems to work ok.
PS: No emails in local folders.

Ok when you create tags using eM Client for desktop you can select between Local tags or Server tags “via the dropdown arrow at the top of tags”. So make sure you are creating server tags. The iPhone and iPad will then automatically have the same tags without manually creating them.
If you are already creating server tags in the desktop client, then you might need to wait for the next mobile app update and try again.
If there is no server tags available in tags on the desktop client then your server is not supported.
This may be a limitation of Xfinity as tags used on my Gmail/GSuite accounts seems to work ok.
Yes could be Xfinity / Comcast.net server is not supported. As mentioned previously server tags support as far as I know is currently only "Gmail, IceWarp, Exchange, Dovecot, and Imageway accounts”. If there is others supported, someone will update this thread.
Thanks for the information.
