![]() ![]() A good example is eM Client vs Thunderbird. Open source applications tend to have more functionality that proprietary or closed source ones. But that does not mean they have minimal features. Yes, Linux is open source and so many applications are free. That would not be the case if things ran better on Windows. The world’s top 500 supercomputers all run Linux. Paul, I don’t think my comment is subjective. And sooo many people are willing to pay, but eMClient refuses to adopt to a licensing model those customers would be willing to accept… Really a shame… I think it is “game over” for many of the existing users. ![]() It is of course very nice to have a free version, but hey, just 2 mail addresses is not something of this century anymore. The linux community is crying out loud for a product like em-client, but well, if a Mac version is not happening, don’t hold your breath for a Linux version… I am a happy PRO user and converted more then a few customers to eMClient over the years, but I don’t think I will ever upgrade anymore because of the lack of progress on the mentioned subjects. Multi-platform would be a big plus, but in about 5 years of development they were not able to deliver. Outlook 2016 plays pretty nice with gmail too, one of the big plusses of eMClient gets undermined by this fact. But the licensing model is particularly unfriendly to probably their biggest target: the non-business user. The product is especially nice for non-business users because of the fact that business users mostly already have access to Outlook. Of course every company makes it’s own decisions about licensing, but in my opinion it is becoming real hard to see which public eMClient is targeting. However NOT in favor of eMClient is their reluctance to a) offer a user based hiring option b) deliver multi platform options c) offer discount on prices when you don’t buy them simultaneously That is just the way it works with software, and MS Office and many others have equal licensing. In favor of eMClient I would say that the price is right, and if buying a lifetime license it is quite logical to have that license for one computer only. ![]()
