Setting up EM Client fails with IPv6

Mail
1

I just installed EM Client on Windows. In the “Incoming Server” page, I ticked “IMAP”, and in “Incoming Server” I typed in an IPv6 IP number. I tried both as is, and prefixed with “[” and postfixed with “]”. I also tried appending “:” and a port number.

In all these situations, when I click Next, I get an error box “Cannot parse the port number you specified”.

Supporting IPv6 IP number is a fundamental function.

Is this a bug that needs fixing?

No sorry i don’t use IP address’s for Incoming Mail server address’s. I only use mail.whatever.com addressing for Incoming mail servers.

I have interest in need for this method of setup, can you please post where you have been able to do this, not just for me but for all.

Thanks
