Still missing or bugs that I have noticed

@Michal_Burger

Unfortunately I can only reply 3 times to a post here :frowning: hence a new post:

I have now transferred the postbox responses to EM Client manuell :wink:

Here are a few things that are still missing or bugs that I have noticed:

  1. for the “Quick actions” it would be helpful to have an “Action” = “Determine sender address”. Reply address alone does not always help.

  2. if i send a mail to several recipients (even if one of them is only CC) with the variable “Full Name”, eM Client wants to split these mails. I would like to have an option to set that only “To” is taken into account for the variable. CC is usually only an info, the recipient does not have to be addressed by name.

  3. i want assign file extensions to certain programs. For example, I don’t want .ics to be opened in eM Client, but in Apple Calendar.

  4. i still have the problem that conversations are summarized incorrectly (see attachment).

    So apparently not all important parameters are taken into account. How can we solve this, but I cannot provide you with privacy-problematic mails for viewing?

  5. an option to delete not only spam after XX days, but also the trash would be very helpful.

  6. a shortcut for “Show source text” and “Mark all messages as read” would be helpful :wink:

  7. “Expand all” and “Hide all” for the folders: It would be helpful if i could only do this for each mailbox/main folder not for all folder on the right side.

  8. the “Deferred” folder disappears with every restart, so it has to be reactivated under “Show”.

I’m sure I’ll notice a few more things, so I’ll let you know :wink:

Addition: A search function in the source code/header window would be helpful.

In the search result, it would be useful to be able to see the folder in which the respective mails are located.

@Michal_Burger And can it be that the filter rules are only applied to the mails that come into the inbox?

I use filters to move mails to different folders directly at my mail provider and then mark it with labels and/or as read in the respective folders via Postbox. It worked without any problems in Postbox!

In eM Client, however, nothing happens with the filter rules. 2 examples:

Can it be that the filter rules are only applied to the mails that come into the inbox ?

Yes normally rules in eM Client only automatically apply on new emails arriving in the Inbox. So you can then setup and automatic rule to move to folder on arrival and set a label / tag to that rule.

Note: Currently for rules to work automatically, they “have to be unread messages in your Inbox”, but that might change in future versions as I know there is users who want rules to automatically work even if already read by another device. @Michal_Burger can advise on that.

With Postbox you can undo the move to any folder with Command + Z, with eM Client apparently only when deleting to trash?

But it also works in subfolders in Postbox, which is very useful.

Yes currently Undo “only works for deleted email”. However there is a Sleekplan suggestion you can vote on for undo move to folder below.

The variables (e.g. Full Name) do not work in the subject.

@Michal_Burger This is currently the most serious problem and is a major hindrance to work. It is actually not usable. It worked in Postbox for 10 years without any problems!

It is not clear from the screenshot what the problem is. What do you mean by summary here?

As you can see from the screenshot, almost 1860 conversations are summarized here, but they do not belong together (different sender/recipient, subject, etc.).

I still have several examples of this, EM Client does not seem to separate the conversations properly here. This was never a problem with Postbox.

@Michal_Burger and are there any news or queries regarding my request?

@Michal_Burger No more feedback?
