eM Client 4+

Have been waiting for EM Client for IOS for some time and have been using it for several months now. There are problems and shortcomings that should be addressed, perhaps in a more urgent fashion.

There seems to be a significant lag in what my iPad screen shows vis-a-vis the action that was just completed. E.g. Delete a message in the Inbox and it remains visible on-screen. Have to select another email to clear it.

More formatting features on-the-fly would be greatly appreciated.

There is a keystroke delay at times that slows typing an email down to a painful crawl. It's as if the keystrokes are first being sent via dial-up to a server and then bounced back as an echo.

No IOS Share Sheet for the app. E.g. Forwarding a news article that has no native button in it. This necessitates first having to copy the link manually, paste it into the email body and then copy the article header and pasting it in Subject.

However, the big PLUS is that EM Client enables me to create Local folders on my iPad and store them safely and privately while removing them off of the ISP server. This is a feature that none of the email apps I've tried offer.

EM Client is still my default email app as of now and I look forward to the app's designers releasing more updates.

I found the desktop app in 2012. Even back then eM Client was doing things no other mail client was doing, and doing other things better. It's all I've used ever since. There's some early feedback in other reviews about apparent issues with the first release of the iOS app. I'm experiencing some of the same things, but I think it's worth pointing out that they could have turned out an under-baked iOS app any time they wanted. Instead, they waited and gave us something that truly displayed their desire to live up to the desktop experience that made many of us excited to give this app a try. If messages or message notifications are slow to come in right now, you can trust they will prioritize a fix. Just give them sufficient time. In the meantime, go through all the settings. There's a depth of control that is surprising for a mobile mail client, and you just might find something that allows you to fix an issue that appeared to be a bug at first.

We use it as a desktop email client, works very well. The only exception is that it overrides default gmail events privacy, and makes all calendar events public unless the user explicitly marks private checkbox. They refuse to fix this for years.
As per the mobile app, similar weird product management decisions are made. All the major IOS mail apps behave in a certain way, and EM Client does things differently.
Using gmail, while in any folder other than inbox, archive button or swipe will remove the email from said folder. This is true for MS Outlook, Apple Mail and other email apps, but not for EM Client. Archive outside of inbox does NOTHING. You get the info message was archived, but it remains in the folder and nothing has happened.
Another example, all other major email apps will send push notifications and show status badge for all favorite folders, not just inbox. EM Client doesn’t have an option to choose which folders are important to a user to get notifications, even though it has favorite folders.
For us, these are dealbreakers, and mobile app is not used.
