Auto-Updates
MailCade updates itself automatically. No manual downloads needed.
#How it works
The app checks for updates when it launches and once a day after that. When there's a new version:
- You get a notification
- It downloads in the background
- You decide when to install
Your settings and emails are preserved.
#Checking for updates
By default, auto-update is on (Settings → General → Auto-update). MailCade checks for new versions automatically.
Want to check right now? Go to Settings → Updates → Check for Updates. You'll see your current version, the latest version, and release notes.
#Installing updates
When an update is ready, you'll see a notification. Click "Install Update" and MailCade restarts with the new version.
If you're in the middle of something, just ignore it. The update waits for you - install it whenever you're ready.
All your settings and current emails stick around. Nothing gets lost.
#Skipping updates
Not ready for an update? Click "Skip This Version" and you won't be bothered about it again. You'll still get notified about future versions.
#Manual updates
If auto-update is off or something goes wrong, you can always download the latest version from GitHub releases and install it manually.
#Troubleshooting
Update check fails? Check your internet connection and try again in a few minutes.
Download fails? Make sure you have enough disk space. Try again or download manually.
Install fails? Quit MailCade completely, download the new version manually, and install it over the old one.
#Turning it off
You can turn off auto-update in Settings → General → Auto-update, but we don't recommend it. You'll miss out on fixes and new features.
