    It looks good but I would have to go for the Pro (paid) version as I have several email accounts.

    Well I use Incredimail XE (the older version) still but do have Vista Windows Mail up and running in both 7 and 8 should I ever need it. I know Incredimail is considered by many to be adware, but it really isn't once you've bought the lifetime license which I did years ago. The trouble with it is I only like the original version. Their new one is too gaudy for my tastes, also it isn't fully Win 8 compatible if anyone is wondering.
    So this one is definitely on my "worth looking at" list. Thanks for pointing it out.

    I’ve tried eM Client a couple of times and was impressed but also disappointed in that it didn't have a backup facility or have Bayesian spam control.
    Thunderbird has a good Bayesian filter but you need to know where to look to make it work properly, plus there is a very good free backup program available.

    No backup would turn me against any mail client. My spam problems are all very effectively dealt with by Spamcop Webmail who filter all my mail before it reaches me.

    It would appear that the latest version of eM Client should have backup according to this thread: Backup data

    Very tempted as it now has a backup facility.
    Personally I would rather have bult in spam control, more control and accessiblity.
    Is it still very slow to load?

    I've had no problems with Windows Updates affecting WM
    If there is a particular update that you did let me know and I'll check it out, but first, Perhaps it's just the option in WM to open attachments got unchecked somehow.

    Go to the top tab of Tools> Options> Security> ..and in here be sure that the box is un-checked for this:
    *Do not allow attachments to be opened....

    If it's checked, then un-check it, and click Apply
