12.0 is unacceptably slow and more problems...

[M&M]

Hello Trintylab,

Start the EssentialPIM installation file (EssentialPIM118.exe) without administrator rights (normal user).

The installation starts with the following dialog box:

Select the “Next” button.

In the next screen dialog window you can then select the “portable installation”
and in the following window the installation directory.

Good luck M&M

The newest regular version download has been including both the installable and portable versions for quite some time already.

Thanks, during the 12 install there was no option to choose portable, so i installed that to another folder. Is it correct?

[admin]

Nope, that's not correct. You probably installed the regular desktop version. Please refer to the M&M's post above, which demonstrates how to choose the Portable edition during installation.

[Trinitylab]

Thanks, I didn't have this choice, maybe because I launched it as Win admin.

OK, so I can't/ don't know how to run it as a regular user, as the file has the icon with this admin little shield on it.
And it always launches with admin privil.
(Therefore?) no choice, portable or not.

There's no portable version included in the Business version installer. If you want to install the Portable version, you need to install from the regular EssentialPIM installation file.

Thank you. But would that work as Pro Business, in network?

[admin]

It will work if it's registered with a Business license key.

Dierk, please try installing a portable version into a separate folder to check its speed. There might be settings stored in your current epim.ini file affecting the program's performance. It's unusual for new item dialogs to take 3-4 seconds to open, they should open almost instantly.

Presumably with a New (empty) Database? Or should I try to Import existing records?

BTW: As of today (Jun 6, 2024) am back to a Good 10 Seconds before the New Appointment windows opens.
As comparison, the Windows PC Manager thinks that the System Start Time is 4 Sec, so it does [edit: NOT!] appear to be a system-wide problem....

First with a new and empty database, if it works correctly then sync your existing database into the new one using EPIM Synchronizer.

Pretty busy today (Friday, Jun 7), but should have time to tackle this over weekend.

i dont know what you didwith 12.0.1, but it's fixed. MUCH better!!!!!!

Since v12.0 the 'Reply', 'Reply to All' and 'Forward´(neither the shortcut keys) in the mail module works anymore!
What's the problem?

[admin]

We haven't identified the root cause yet, but we're actively looking into it.

EDIT: Please download and install the following build: https://www.essentialpim.com/download/t ... Pro120.exe. We've made an attempt to address the issue with the reply buttons in this build. Try it out and let us know how it performs. Thank you!

[M&M]

Nothing has changed for me with 12.0.1 (siehe Forum):

>> poor performance
>> no correct display
>> new contact module faulty
>> new contact module incomplete and confusing display
>> Error message for display problems ...

I'm sticking with 11.8.4, also to protect my data.

Regards M&M

I have already installed v 12.0.1 and the problem remains. No response to all the 3 buttons...
