eM Client was originally developed in 2006 and has provided updated versions[3] (the latest version 8.2 of the software was released in March 2021[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]

Server compatibility

eM Client is compatible with:[14]

System requirements

For Windows:

  • Windows 7 or higher
  • 350 MB of free space for installation (+additional space for data, which can be stored on a different drive if needed - since eM Client has no limit on the number of emails/data stored in its database, the only limitation is the capacity of user's hard drive)
  • Minimum of 2 GB of RAM and 1.6 GHz CPU

For macOS:

  • OS X 10.11 and the newer versions are supported
  • only the last three macOS versions are officially supported, but eM Client runs on El Capitan too

eM Client requires Microsoft .NET Framework 2.0 installation.[15]
