eM Client on my Windows 11 laptop shows a draft message, but I cannot delete it. The message does not appear in my GMail account draft folder and neither does it appear in the eM Client app on my Android phone. I’ve tried reinstalling eM Client over the top of the existing installation, but it hasn’t solved the problem.
Please close eM Client and open a Windows Command Prompt. Not a powershell, but a command prompt.
Paste in this command including the leading "
"C:\Program Files (x86)\eM Client\MailClient.exe" /dbrepair
When that is done, restart eM Client.

Gary, is there a MAC version of this command? Trying to get rid of old gmail drafts that i cannot delete (drafts not present at gmail.com).
Thanks,
Rexx.
EDIT: Found it, and it worked - found 13 errors!
/Applications/eM\ Client.app/Contents/MacOS/eM\ Client /dbrepair
As you were Gary!

You must provide a value expression following the ‘/’ operator.

As per @Gary post further up, make sure first your are using the Windows Command Prompt and not the Power Shell.
Also make sure you have the correct (vertical quotes) and not angled quotes at the start of C and end of .exe or it will fail.
Last make sure eM Client is closed before running.

Wow! I don’t know how I missed those details. I had copied and pasted from the thread, and the quotes were different. Upon changing it, it worked!
Thank you so much @cyberzork and @Gary for the support!
