How to Stay Informed of New Airmail Updates - Checking for Updates and Update Notifications

Many Airmail users have asked how to be notified when a new version of Airmail is released. This article explains how to check for the latest version, how to keep Airmail up to date automatically, and how to follow our official channels for release announcements.

Why keeping Airmail updated matters

Keeping Airmail updated to the most recent version ensures that you receive the latest stability improvements, security patches, performance optimizations, and compatibility updates for the newest releases of macOS and iOS. Many issues reported by users are already addressed in newer builds, so checking for updates is often the first recommended troubleshooting step.

How to check for updates on macOS

Airmail for macOS is distributed exclusively through the Mac App Store. To check for and install the latest version, please follow these steps. First, open the App Store application from your Applications folder or via Spotlight. Next, click on Updates in the left sidebar. The App Store will then display all pending updates, including Airmail if a new version is available. Click Update next to Airmail to install the latest build. If no update appears, you are already running the most recent version.

To enable automatic updates on macOS, go to System Settings, then App Store, and turn on Automatic Updates. With this option enabled, your Mac will install new versions of Airmail in the background as soon as they become available.

How to check for updates on iOS and iPadOS

Airmail for iOS is available through the App Store. Open the App Store on your iPhone or iPad, tap your profile icon in the top right corner, and scroll down to view pending updates. If Airmail appears in the list, tap Update. To enable automatic app updates on iOS, open Settings, tap App Store, and enable App Updates under Automatic Downloads.

How to find your current Airmail version

On macOS, open Airmail and click on the Airmail menu in the top menu bar, then select About Airmail. The version and build number will be shown.

On iOS, open Airmail, tap the menu icon, go to Settings, and scroll down to the bottom where the version and build number are displayed.

Providing the version and build number is extremely helpful when contacting our support team, as it allows us to confirm whether the issue you are reporting is already addressed in a more recent release.

How to follow Airmail release announcements

If you would like to be informed of new releases as soon as they are published, we recommend the following channels. You can visit the official Airmail website at https://airmailapp.com for product news. You can follow Airmail on social media for release announcements. You can also reach out to our support team through this chat to ask whether a new version is currently being prepared.

In-app update prompts

Airmail relies on the App Store update mechanism, which is the standard for apps distributed through the Apple ecosystem. When automatic updates are enabled in your device settings, you do not need to take any manual action. We have noted the suggestion from several users to introduce more visible in-app notifications when new versions become available, and we have shared this feedback with our development team for future consideration.

If you continue to experience issues even after updating to the latest version, please contact our support team with your macOS or iOS version, your Airmail build number, and a description of the issue. We will be happy to assist you further.
