Adding Emoticons to eM Client 7

====================================

Are you tired of receiving dull and lifeless emails from your contacts using older versions of eM Client? Do you want to spice up your communication by adding a dash of fun and personality through emoticons but are unsure how to do it in the latest version, v.7?

Fear not! In this article, we will walk you through the simple steps required to add these small yet expressive graphical elements known as emoticons or emojis (short for 'emotion-') to your emails using eM Client 7.

Why Use Emoticons?

----------------

Before diving into the technical aspects of adding emoticons to your email messages in eM Client, let's quickly discuss why you might want to do so. Using graphics and formatted text can help convey emotions more effectively than relying solely on words alone since tone-of-voice often gets lost when written down.

For example: 😊 (smiling face) conveys a much friendlier sentiment compared with 'Hello! How are you today? 🙂'

Step 1: Enable Emoticons in eM Client Preferences

------------------------------------------------

To start using emoticons, first, ensure that they have been enabled within your email client's preferences. Here’s how:

1. Launch eM Client and click on the gear icon located at the top right corner of the main window.

2. From the drop-down menu select 'Preferences.'

3. In the Preferences dialog box, navigate to the “Composition” tab.

4. Underneath this heading, locate a checkmark next to “Show emoticons/emojis as images.” If it is not already checked (it should be by default), simply click on the checkbox beside it once so that it becomes ticked.

Step 2: Insert an Emoticon into Your Email Message

-----------------------------------------------

Now that we've enabled the use of emojis in eM Client, let's proceed to learn how to actually insert them into our email messages. Here are a few different ways you can do this:

### Method A - Using Keyboard Shortcuts

Most modern operating systems come pre-installed with an input method called “Emoji & Symbols” which allows users to quickly access commonly used characters like emoticons through simple keyboard combinations.

For example, on Windows 10 (the OS required for eM Client v.7), you can press the 'Win' + '.' keys together on your keyboard and then select either Smiling Face or whatever other emoji symbol(s) you'd like from the pop-up window that appears next:

### Method B - Using the Insert Special Text dialog box

Alternatively, if you prefer not using keyboard shortcuts (or perhaps they aren't working for some reason), there's always the old-fashioned way of pasting images directly into your email message body.

To do this follow these steps:

1. Place cursor where you want to insert the emoticon in your email message.

2. Right-click anywhere inside that selected area and from the context menu select 'Insert Special Text.'

3. From here, click on “Emoji & Smiley” under the “Symbols” subheading at left.

Step 4: Save Your Email Message

------------------------------

Once you've successfully inserted one or more emoticons into your email message(s), don't forget to save them before hitting send! To do this:

1. Click File > Save As (or Ctrl + Shift + S on Windows/Linux).

2. Give your saved file a descriptive name, like “EmoEmail.eml” for example.

3. Choose either .emlx or .txt depending upon whether you're using Mac OS X Lion/Leopard/Snow Leopard/Windows 7+ respectively.

And that's it! With these simple steps and tips under your belt, adding emoticons to eM Client 7 has never been easier. Whether you're looking to liven up your business communication or simply want a fun way to express yourself online, incorporating emojis into your email messages is sure to make quite an impression on both friends and foes alike.
