Re: Why do you like EssentialPIM?

@MetalDrop, I'm curious about a couple of points in your latest post. You mentioned EPIM broke support for several writing tools, including WordWeb lookups. I use WordWeb with EPIM and have no trouble. How has yours broken? You also mention that "note revision history never came." EPIM ha...

Re: Why do you like EssentialPIM?

Haven't been here in a while. One reason for that is EPIM has become a "backup" application for me. Since it broke support for my writing tools in notes: ProWritingAid Anywere, AHK Typing Assistant, and WordWeb lookups I had to move the majority of my work to other programs as the organiza...

Re: GMail OAuth 2.0....

Did you see Admins reply? If you added your Gmail account in a long time ago you need to delete it and re-add it, then OAuth will work just fine. All my email accounts are Gmail pop3 and I have no issue, but I did have to re-add them all when Gmail moved to OAuth years ago. I'm surprised you're just...

Re: Email NOT downloading

You may look into checking your POP settings sever side no matter what you decide to do if you've never looked before. Clients have zero ability to override the server POP settings. I can't help you since I don't use the same email host as you. In most cases it's a section of the settings that the n...

Re: Email NOT downloading

Can't comment on the error never gotten it before and it's name doesn't mean anything to me. On the general side of things since you said you are using POP: Unlike IMAP that mirrors the web sever POP can be setup a lot of different ways that can lead people to think there are crazy errors/issues whe...

Re: Email NOT downloading

Rather than a new database have you tried using the standalone "EPIM Synchronizer" tool? It lets you sync your entire database to a new one, including account details, so you don't have to re-setup email accounts. Generally speaking anytime a "new" databases fixes the issue, simp...

Interesting I had miss read things, where does your important mail get lost at? In the EPIM SPAM folder, or in the Sever SPAM system? If it...

Re: REPLIES being spammed

Most major email providers offer server side spam filtering which is normal the way a lot of people go because it works in all the places they would use that email address and they don't ever have to reset it backup if they change clients. If you have a ton of email addresses it can get a little lab...

Re: Locked out !!!

As a interim workaround you could install a portable version and open your database with that, it'll have a 30day trial which should give you plenty of time to use your email. Also I'm pretty sure you can open any database in the free version of EPIM you just can't modify things that require a pro l...

Re: 10.0.2 Notes can get stuck

Happens on both my windows 10 systems and my windows 11 system, so doesn't seem to be unique to either version of windows.

It is worth noting that it's only mouse scrolling that gets stuck, it seems you can still arrow up and Ctrl+page up to the top.

Summery: If you have a note that is long enough to need a scroll bar, and you scroll down then delete enough lines that you no longer need a scroll bar, the note will get "stuck" at it's current location and the you become be unable to get back to the top of the note. Video attached. steps...

You can also make extra shortcuts on your desktop and open a specific database. make a shortcut to EPIM on your desktop > rename it whatever you'd like > right click > Properties > change the target to something like: "C:\Program Files (x86)\EssentialPIM Pro\EssentialPIM.exe" "<path t...
