I’ve migrated from Thunderbird over to eM Client. In general I’m really happy with the move - there really isn’t much I miss in eM Client.
But one thing I miss dearly is the possibility to visually differentiate, which account I’m sending mails from. I’ve definitely sent mails from the wrong account before.
Thunderbird had this amazing AddOn called “Border Colors D” (BorderColors D :: Add-ons for Thunderbird) which allowed a definition of a specific color & pattern border around the compose window for each account.
Is there a similar feature in eM Client I haven’t yet found? If not, I’d like to request this feature to have as an option in eM Client.
Thanks for the input! Since I’d only set up the gray account symbols that came with eM Client I actually hadn’t noticed that. This could definitely be used to better distinguish the accounts. But the visual clue, albeit customizable to be colorful, is still quite small. It could still be overlooked. As compared to eg. this example from BorderColors (which is completely customizable - clues can be a frame, can be a thick or thin line at the top, can be a different background etc.
Same here, before adopting em clent I have sent a work email from my personal email account, creates confusion and doesn’t look professional.
My solution with em client is for the second account, in the account list, to right-click on the second account and “Show in New Window”. So personal email in one window, work email in another. When I reply to a message, the return email and signature are correct for the account. I haven’t messed up once in the couple of months ago of using em client after switching from PostBox.
