eM Client

What do you like best?

I used Microsoft Office 2016 Pro and earlier versions for years. I was looking for an alternative email software supporting POP3 and have support too after Outlook decided not to work and there was no support. As a business owner, it is crucial to have a reliable email service with all the bells and whistles. I checked a few options, and money was not a question or obstacle. Online email management is not an option. After looking at and testing software, I ended up buying eM Client. The transition was flawless, and all my email accounts set up themselves automatically with minimal data input from my end. Well, this never happened before with Outlook because their miserable, hard to figure out set up protocols, and the non-stop requiring a Microsoft account. Using eM Client was very simple to adopt because of the close resemblance to Outlook. Technically didn't have to learn anything new. The customization of the software and apperance is way beyond my expections and bottom line, I don't need to be logged into any stupid account to have dark mode. I'm using eM Client for more than a year, and it is very stable and reliable. I can only recommend it, especially for business owners who need proper, secure software without the hassle. The other good option is that you can pay for lifetime updates which include tech support too. You can't beat that.

What do you dislike?

The only "dislike" from my end is the lack of compatibility of Microsoft Office Word and Excell, but eM Client (thank god) has no affiliation with Microsoft. To be precise, some customers of mine like to send tables created in Word or Excell, and I have to copy-paste in Word to edit and copy-paste back to reply or new email. It is not a big deal because I have to keep those tables anyway, but it would be easier to do that on a fly. Probably there is a way to do it but I just don't have the patients to figure it out.
