On new mail arrival EPim grabs focus

Post by alexpr »

Since the last update, every time I get a new mail, EPim takes the focus - comes in front. This is very annoying when working and suddenly I'm in the EPim Window and not anymore in my application.
Is there an option to disable?
Thanks
Alex

What's your Windows and EPIM versions?
Overall, this shouldn't be happening. May I ask you to please record a small video demonstrating the issue?

In the first part of the video I wrote a mail with Thunderbird. Then, after a while, EPim receives the new mail and is set in front.

Seems like some sort of a glitch. Please reboot your PC and try again.

I have seen this issue as well. Happens when there is a send and receive.

This is very annoying, because also when writing a mail in EPim, on arrival of a new mail it jumps to the mail overview. Any news about the issue?

As far as I can say after a short period of testing, it looks good now. Thank you.

Should everyone who has this irritating problem grab that update? I'm also using 11.1 and my work around is to always leave epim in the home pane, but, it also grabs the focus when I'm writing an email!!! So, I'm in the middle of an email and Bam! I'm over to the inbox and the email I'm working on is minimized.
