¶ Task and Calendar Integration in eM Client
This guide is a practical walkthrough of Task and Calendar Integration in eM Client for UK users. Whether you are running eM Client on a Windows or Mac desktop for a UK business mailbox — Axigen via smartxhosting.uk, Google Workspace, Microsoft 365, or a self-hosted Plesk mailbox — the steps below apply. All eM Client Pro and Business features referenced here are available on licences purchased from smartxhosting.uk/email-client.

Reasons this matters for UK users:
- Save time — a single workflow in eM Client replaces repeated manual handling in a mixed stack of tools.
- Consistency — the same feature works the same across Windows and macOS, so a UK team sees the same interface.
- Reliability — eM Client’s synchronisation model keeps data aligned between device and server, so a change on one appears everywhere.
- UK GDPR comfort — combined with a UK-based mailbox (for example smartxhosting.uk Axigen), data flows stay within UK or EU infrastructure.
- Control — unlike webmail, your mail lives locally on a device you own, backed up and searchable offline.
Calendar features in eM Client:
- Create, edit, and delete events directly in the calendar pane.
- Colour-code calendars and categories for visual separation (personal, work, client, team).
- Set recurrence rules — daily, weekly, monthly, or custom patterns.
- Integrate with CalDAV servers — works with Nextcloud, Fastmail, Google Calendar, Microsoft 365.
- Receive reminders, add attendees, attach files to events.
- UK bank-holiday calendars can be subscribed to via public ICS URLs.
- Open eM Client and navigate to the relevant area (Menu → Settings or the feature’s dedicated pane).
- Follow the built-in wizard or configuration dialogue for task and calendar integration.
- Enter the settings required (server addresses, credentials, preferences) — auto-detection handles most providers.
- Test the configuration with a simple send or sync to confirm it works end-to-end.

- For UK business mailboxes from smartxhosting.uk, server settings auto-configure via autodiscover in most cases.

eM Client tasks work alongside e-mail and calendar:
- Create tasks from e-mails with a single click — captures sender, subject and message as context.
- Set due dates, priorities, categories and recurrence.
- Subtasks let you break larger items down.
- Sync to Nextcloud tasks, Microsoft To Do (via Exchange), CalDAV VTODO.
- View tasks alongside calendar events for a unified daily plan.
¶ Tips and Best Practices
- Keep eM Client updated — Help → Check for Updates — to get the latest fixes and features.
- Back up your database regularly (File → Backup) so settings and mail are recoverable.
- Use a professional e-mail address on your own domain (for example
[email protected]) for better deliverability than free mail.
- Under UK GDPR, if you process customer data through eM Client, include it in your data-processing inventory and back it up.
- For teams, standardise settings and signatures across devices by exporting a settings file and sharing it with staff.
