Solved eM Client

Do you know if there is a way to get eM Client to run at Startup but directly to the System Tray?

Check this link, it works for Win11 too. I managed to add emclient to the startup apps by copying the shortcut.

Then right click the shortcut, click properties and change how you want it to open.

I've done that but, apparently there's no way to make it go directly to the system tray.

Sorry, I was confusing the taskbar with the system tray.

A bit of research revealed that the developer has to enable that within the application, can't do it within Windows itself, it creates a possible vulnerability.

I got it to work, it's very specific..., gonna run some tests and report back...

It's very simple yet specific..., in any case, it works!
First:
- In eM Client Settings/General enable Minimize application to tray, and,
- disable Run on system startup, Apply/Save & Close
Then:
- open shell:startup via a Run box,
- open C:\Program Files (x86)\eM Client in another window,
- right click/drag MailClient.exe into the Startup folder and choose create shortcut from the popup context menu,
- right click the new shortcut, go to Properties, at Run: choose Minimized, Apply & OK

At Boot or Restart, you will see the Splash Screen, (haven't figured out how to disable that yet!), and, you may see the Taskbar icon for a fraction of a second.
Works on W10 and W11.

Almost have eM Client exactly the way I want it!
Pretty powerful application, almost too powerful!

However, seeing as how Mailbird royally shafted myself and countless others, it's a must!

One thing I miss is incoming icon badges...

eM Client 10 is here!

I've never used an email client on my phone, preferring to just use my PC. I might have to give this a go and try it out. Just one question, can I just switch back and forth between the PC and phone? It is very rare when I felt the need to have email on my phone, but every once in a while, I find myself thinking it would be nice to check my email if I'm out and about.
