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.
