How do i stop em client polling for new mail

EM Client is a popular email client that periodically checks for new emails, which is known as polling. If you want to stop EM Client from polling for new mail, you can try the following methods:

Method 1: Disable Polling in EM Client Settings

  1. Open EM Client and go to Settings (or Preferences on Mac).
  2. Click on Accounts and select the account you want to disable polling for.
  3. Uncheck the box next to Poll for new messages.
  4. Click OK to save the changes.

Method 2: Disable Polling using the Command Line

  1. Open a command prompt or terminal window.
  2. Type the following command and press Enter:
    emclient --polling off

    This will disable polling for all accounts in EM Client.

Method 3: Disable Polling using the Registry (Windows only)

  1. Open the Registry Editor (Regedit.exe) on your Windows machine.
  2. Navigate to the following key:
    HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\E.M.Client\Settings
  3. Create a new DWORD value named Polling and set its value to 0.
  4. Close the Registry Editor.

Method 4: Disable Polling using a Third-Party Add-on

There are several third-party add-ons available that can help you disable polling in EM Client. One popular option is the "EM Client Polling Disabler" add-on, which can be downloaded from the EM Client website.

After disabling polling, you can still check for new emails manually by clicking on the "Check for new messages" button in EM Client or by using the keyboard shortcut (usually Ctrl + Shift + F).

Note that disabling polling may affect the performance of EM Client, as it will no longer periodically check for new emails in the background.
