Configuring EWS Email with eM ClientThis article shows you how to set up your Web Wiz email account in eM Client, with full calendar, contacts, tasks and notes sync over a Secure SSL/TLS Encrypted Connection. eM Client is a fast, native email program for Windows, macOS, iOS and Android. It connects to your mailbox using EWS, giving you the same Exchange-style experience – email, calendar, contacts, tasks and notes, plus sharing and delegation – with a consistent experience across all your devices. Free eM Client Pro licence Your Web Wiz mailbox qualifies for a free eM Client Pro licence for up to 3 devices, through SmarterMail’s partnership with eM Client. To receive your licence, please contact Web Wiz support and we will issue an activation for your account – there is nothing to buy. 1. Download and install eM Client Download eM Client from www.emclient.com for Windows or macOS, or get the app from the App Store (iOS) or Google Play (Android). On a computer, run the installer and accept the default options. The steps below show the desktop app on Windows (macOS is identical). The iOS and Android apps follow a similar process. 2. Start a new account The first time you open eM Client it will offer to set up an account. (If you have used eM Client before, open the Menu, choose Accounts, then click Add Account.) On the Set up an account screen, click Mail to show the list of providers. Please note: do not use Automatic Setup – it does not detect our servers, so we set the account up manually using the Exchange option below. ![]() 3.

Items saved in Local Folders are kept only on that computer and will not sync to the server or to your other devices.
