Yes could then be the older Apple OS is the issue and you would need to update to a later Mac OS to run V8.x. The closing remark of my last post, “install and die”, is not far from reality. Knowing that I’ll stick with v, hoping to never push the update button in the future. The last apps, not running on old macs, behave (from my point of view) as if they were already corrupted. The culprit is not a corrupted database, it is the app itself. They explode very early, since the “eM Client” folder just contains three empty files (zero bytes): main.dat, check_db.txt and Logs/sqlite.log. On the contrary v and v fail to run, and give the “unexpectedly quit” message with their error report. My results: v and v started regularly (and created their “eM Client” folder). In brief the Mac is prepared as one that never had eMC installed. I removed both the app “eM Client” from the Application folder, as well as the folder “eM Client” from ~/Library/Application Support/. For each test I started with the virgin Mac. And they don’t show any incompatibility alert. The problem seems more severe: eMC, as well as, cannot run on old Macs as mine (macOS 10.11.6 El Capitan). Thank you cyberzork for your suggestions. …if you cannot get the program to launch you would have to drag the whole folder to the bin and reinstall if the program or database is corrupted. I appreciate several eMC features, but this last experience “update and die” is quite irritating. What to do now? To throw away (again) all the databases, or to find a recipe at least for partial salvage / recovery? I wonder if they can object for this unexpected “owerwork” - happening fom time to time - of retrieving at once many years of stored emails on their servers. My email providers all offer a free service for normal private users. Mails are not lost (all my accounts are IMAP) but I’d rather prefer to recycle what’s still there, instead of letting eMC rebuild everything from scratch. So I ask other people who stumbled on this problem: are there any ways to recover (at least partly) the emails databases already stored locally? I know it’s an old issue, and I know the brute solution: to get rid of the whole folder located at ~/Library/Application Support/EM Client. I downloaded manually the latest v.0, re-installed and tried to launch: nada. I restarted my Mac, no other apps running. Check of eMC database corruption doesn’t start at all. Now at every launch the message “eM Client quit unexpectedly” appears immediately. I had to force-quit it: other actions were not possible. The process ended regularly, and I landed on the “Congratulations!” web page.Īfter the necessary eMC restart, I got errors and freezing of the app. My eM-Client (paid license) prompted for an update to a new version, so I started the auto download & install on my old iMac, macOS-OSX 10.11.6.
