Manual QA test of a Windows/Mac desktop email program (4 testers, fixed price)

Manual QA test of a Windows/Mac desktop email program — 4 testers, 5–6 hours each, fixed price.

Emaili LLC is releasing Zackem, a desktop email client for Windows and Mac (Gmail, Microsoft 365, IMAP, built-in AI features). We need four experienced manual QA testers for a one-time, fixed-price test of the release build on your own machine, with your own email accounts (we can provide test accounts where needed) — every sign-in type must be covered (Google sign-in, Microsoft sign-in, app passwords, own-domain IMAP):
1) Windows 11 + Gmail/Google Workspace
2) Windows 10 + Outlook.com or Microsoft 365
3) macOS 14/15 + Gmail
4) Windows or Mac + Yahoo/iCloud/custom IMAP, with several accounts at once

You get a 40-step test script (install → accounts → first-day mail copy → new-mail timing → mail actions → search → calendar → AI → rules → notifications → update → uninstall) and 2 hours of free exploration.

Deliverable: every bug filed through the program's "Report a problem" button (it attaches the log), plus one written report (template provided): environment, each script step pass/fail with notes, exploratory findings ranked by severity, and five sentences on what would stop you using it.

Expect 5–6 hours over two days. Fixed price $120–180 per tester; payment on receipt of the report. Short NDA: do not publish anything about the program or test materials until we say the version is public.

In your bid please state: 1) your OS and exact version; 2) which email providers you can test with and whether you can use app passwords; 3) your antivirus / firewall / internet filter; 4) years of manual QA and any desktop (not web/mobile) program you tested; 5) one example bug report you wrote (anonymized). Testers who run an antivirus that inspects web traffic or an internet filter are especially welcome.
