In case you weren't aware, eM Client has a new BETA of their mobile client that includes Contacts, Calendars, Tasks, and Notes. It's pretty impressive. You can read about it on their blog, which also includes download links for Android and iOS

I did some tests. I was disappointed by the inability to integrate with Android's address book and calendar

question: is it using EAS or EWS?
If it uses EWS instead of EAS, that's a great way to save money...

@Sabatino : it can be a good option to NOT integrate with Android calendar and address book and have a separate one...

some customers also use it for shared phonebook. Unfortunately, it is not integrated with the android phonebook, which is a limitation that forces you to still use third-party sync cardav

I’m using Android. The first thing it asked me was to allow access to my phone contacts. If I allow, it will also search for email addresses from there. If you denied it at first, you can enable phone contacta access from app permissions later. I see an advantage in keeping local and SM contacts separate ie I don’t want to see SM contacts in my private phone book.

Local calendar is meant to be local.. ie how eM should have knowledge to read some x calendar app local calendar? You can connect other on-line calendars to SM and they are visible in eM.

Why do use EAS/EWS with eM in first place? Or with any other mail client other than MS clients?

Anyway we have disabled bouth for eM desktop users [1] and now I’m using that also for Android eM beta testing.
