eM Client is a Windows and macOS based email client for sending and receiving emails, managing calendars, tasks, contacts,[1] and notes. Live chat is integrated as well.[2] It was developed as a user-friendly alternative to existing email clients and calendar solutions.
eM Client was originally developed in 2006 and has provided updated versions[3] (the latest version 9 of the software was released in February 2022[4]).
Features
eM Client has a range of features for handling email, including advanced rules management, mass mail, delayed send, or a built-in translator for incoming and outgoing messages. It supports signatures, Quick Text, and tagging and categorization for easy searching.[5] Watch for Replies and Snooze Email functions are available, as well as direct cloud attachments from cloud services like Dropbox, Google Drive, OneDrive, ownCloud or Nextcloud.[6]
eM Client provides also a lookup service for GnuPG public keys (eM Keybook) in order to more easily send encrypted communication via email, and generally simplify PGP encryption in email communication.[7]
Since eM Client 8.2, Online Meetings are supported (via Zoom, MS Teams, and Google Meet).[8]
eM Client allows extensive appearance customization[9] (including a visual theme editor[10]).
Email support
eM Client supports all major email platforms including Exchange, Gmail, G Suite, Office365, iCloud and any POP3, SMTP, IMAP or CalDAV server.[11]
Automatic setup works for Gmail, Exchange, Office 365, Outlook, iCloud, or other major email services.[12] Recently, auto-import option was added to transfer data from IncrediMail as well.[13]
