Tool Tip Links

When eMClient fires up there is a tip on the splash screen. Some have a “Learn More” link. All of those links, the ones that are presented to me at least, go to a broken link; a screen that has the text “Sorry - either this article does not exist or you haven’t been given permission to view it.”

It takes me to a knowledge base with non-eMClient branding but an eMClient URL. Obviously this is hosted at an outsourcing company. The links do work on the site but just not the ones coming from the splash screen to the site. None of the articles on the site are behind a login firewall.

Just wondering if this is just happening to me?

I suspect that’s due to the eg: new V10 online documentation has only just been completed recently so the splash tooltips links might not yet be updated to match the new help url.

Or could be eg: if you might have an older version of eM Client and possibly needs an update.

What version of eM Client are you using ?

I am using the latest version of eMClient that was just released ie 10.3.1720.

The broken links issue has been that way since I’ve been using eMClient when I migrated from Postbox. Always had the latest version.

The tips are repetitive anyway. I wonder if there is a way of turning them off? I guess I can just ignore them.

Ok when i click the “Learn More” text (all the Tooltip webpages open fine) and no issues using eM Client V10.3.1720 Windows & the just recent / pushed updated V10.3.1738 for Windows.

However when i click “Learn More” on the eM Client Mac V10.3.1720 with Sequoia unfortunately the “Learn More” text (doesn’t seem to be clickable at all). I remember it used to, but i haven’t tried clicking the Learn More link on the Mac side for many versions.

The Splash screen on my Mac only stays there for around 2 secs so could be eg: eM Client loads so fast, the Learn More doesn’t get a chance to work. Or could possibly be a bug.

Im not aware of anyway to disable the Tooltips Learn More random link.

There is however a Sleekplan Suggestion to disable the Splash Screen on startup which you can vote for which then won’t see any Tool Tips.

Hi Steven, can you please tell me what language your eM Client app is set to and send me an example of the URL links you get that lead to the broken/missing page so we can get it fixed? (Copy it from the web browser)
I am unfortunately not able to replicate the issue.

All the tips should either redirect to a blog on our website (The Official Blog | eM Client) or our Knowledgebase on our support page (https://support.emclient.com/).

And of course, you don’t have to click any of the links, the tips are just meant to point out some features exist while the app is loading.

One example is the “mass mail - target multiple recipients at once” tip on the splash screen, it goes to “Learn More” incorrect link.

See attached screen dumps.

EMClient is set to English (Canada).

Hope this helps - Steve.

I found another when firing up eM Client today.

The following tip:
“Custom theme - create your own theme”

Has the following link:
Learn More

Goes to the Kayako website with the message “Sorry - either this article does not exist or you haven’t been given permission to view it.”

Hope this helps - Steve

Ok that is strange. I see both the Splash Screen Learn More links you posted are very different to the actual Knowledge Base links. Are you using eM Client on Mac or Windows ?

I’m on a Mac.

I guess its not that important but I am not a fan of broken links.

Ok I suspect it must be a eg: Mac build problem as I carn’t replicate that issue in Windows.

Unfortunately my Mac Splash screen Learn More links don’t do anything but @Olivia_Rust no doubt will check this out with the URLs you provided.
