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.
