Why is eM Client slow on mobile?

eM Client on a computer (Windows, Mac) is fast when it comes to checking five email accounts.

However, the mobile version is slow with the same five accounts regardless of the platform (android phone, android tablet, iphone). Why?

What version have you got ?

Running the latest update on every device. Looking at my android phone, it shows v10.0.1710.

The PlayStore version does have speed issues, which is way quicker in the Beta Droid v10.3.2269 which also now includes the Calendar, Contacts & Tasks etc.

If you would like to try the later Beta Droid or iOS version, you can “scroll down in the eM Client app PlayStore page” and click “Join the Beta” or if you have iPhone open the “Testflight app” and join as per the eM Client Mobile Beta webpage link below.

Lastly from reading this forum threads the release mobile version isn’t far away now.

Using the beta version. It seems to be a lot more responsive. No complaints.

I have had the same experience, and support for the mobile client is lacking, the font size for example makes it to large. As you said its really slow and does not seem to be able poll for email unless it is the active app then you get the full slowness. I love the mac version the client not so much, I sadly went back to apple mail.

Mobile side has always been extremely slow

I am on iOS. I stopped using eM Client for awhile because it took forever to download email with a solid WiFi or 5G UW connection.

Tried to use it on iOS 26 this week and you can’t even delete mail. I’ll give eM Client a pass because the OS is still in beta (DB 9)

The latest eM Client mobile iOS Beta “Testflight app” V10.3.3292 has alot of fixes and seems to work really quick for me personally on iOS 18.6.2 using my M1 Ipad & iPhone 13 Pro Max.

It also now has “Calendar Notifications” as well and does receive Mail and Calendar notifications when running in the background.

the font size for example makes it to large.

You can adjust the mobile app font size via pressing “Menu / Settings” and press on Appearance under Preferences where there is a Font Size slider.
