eM Client - good email client for small office
Our overall experience with eM Client is very positive. I would be happy to recommend it to any one looking for a good, reliable, traditional email client that is cheaper than Outlook. In fact, I like it better than Outlook anyway and though we now have Office 365 inc Outlook I have no intention of moving from eM Client.
Pros
One of our users has a strong aversion to webmail. eM Client is a good option for a traditional email client. Very much cheaper than Outlook but looks and feels familiar so is easy to use. We move to eM Client from Thunderbird and like the integration of eM Client with Google Contacts very helpful.
Cons
No particular issues. It's cheaper than Outlook but competes more with free clients so it would be nice of eM Client were cheaper than it is, but can't really complain as it doesn't cost much, is regularly updated and has given good, reliable service over many years.

eM Client an interesting email client
I use eM Client on a Windows 10 computer to manage a couple of email accounts.
The programs is easy to use, just a bit slow to load sometimes.
I will surely install it on other computers. I suggest to try it
Pros
In the past I had several problems with an old installation of Outlook that stop working and I did not fix; as I needed my mailbox to be restored as soon as possible I installed eM Client that import everything from my outlook profile and worked without any problem, nothing to set. Wonderful!
I like the interface, clean, you have your email folder, your calendar, activities and contact.
I use on Windows, but it can also be installaed on Mac and mobile phones.
The free version allows you to manage two email address. The paid version offer more features and unlimited email account and the price is really cheap.
Highly recommended!
Cons
Sometimes it a bit slow while loading; I am not sure if local email managed with eM Client will be easy exportable to other email clients

Competitive & fully featured email client
Fun to learn for professionals used to more limited Gmail but not as visually seamless although newer updates are very promising.
Pros
Very easy to use for beginners to e-mail clients, allows easy addition of accounts and quick to learn all the features.
Cons
Not as sleek as outlook & gmail competitors, doesn’t have an easy way to remember original license key account as it isn’t linked to your license key.

Email message size
I love the platform, but the inability to display emails with large attachments is a huge problem to our business. Customer support were rude and closed the support ticket to a paying customer without our consent and without resolving the issue, or doing everything they could to help. They washed their hands of it.
Pros
I love eM Client for how it displays messages, the UI and the ability it has to use multiple accounts on the Pro version.
Cons
There has been a LONG term issue of it not displaying emails with attachments in excess of 25MB. This means customers will send us emails with large attachments and we won't see them because eM Client won't display them, when other email platforms will. We checked our email server settings and the option "Do not limit message size" is selected at a Server level. Yet, Customer Support still persistently blamed our email servers and refused to offer any solutions. As has been mentioned by other users, email syncing can also be slow.

Best Windows alternative to MS Outlook
When I grew too frustrated with the many failings of MS Outlook, I searched for an alternative. The best I could find was eM Client.
Pros
Best alternative I found to Outlook, and with a lot less problems than Outlook
Cons
The text editor is very basic, certain features are a bit clunky
