Nowadays, most people have more than one email account that they require managing, along with calendars, tasks, and chats. Be it a personal account or professional email account provided by the employer, the need for a unified interface to manage all those complex accounts has increased. Unfortunately, email clients like Microsoft Outlook, Apple Mail or Mozilla Thunderbird provide limited functionality for such an integration. This is where eM Client can be a great alternative mail client.
