Update or Upgrade to the Latest Version of EdbMails

Keeping the EdbMails application updated ensures you have access to the latest features, performance improvements, and security updates. If you are using an older version of the software, it is recommended to upgrade to the most recent release before starting a G Suite migration.

Updating the application helps maintain compatibility with supported email platforms and ensures a stable migration process.

Understanding the Application Version Number

The version number of the EdbMails application is displayed at the top of the main program window. It is represented by four numbers separated by periods, for example 6.1.0.51.

Each part of the version number reflects a specific type of update in the application and follows the format:

[major].[minor].[maintenance].[build]

which means the following:

• Major – Indicates a significant software release that introduces major functionality changes or important architectural updates.
• Minor – Represents planned feature additions, improvements, or enhancements introduced in the application. More details about these changes are typically available in the release notes.
• Maintenance – Refers to updates that address important issues or bugs that require quick resolution outside the regular update cycle.
• Build – Represents smaller updates such as performance improvements, interface adjustments, security updates, or minor bug fixes.

Understanding the version number helps users identify the type of update included in each release.

When Should You Update the Application?

You may need to update or upgrade the application in the following situations:

1. When a newer version of the software becomes available
2. When you want to access newly added features or improvements
3. When resolving compatibility or performance issues
4. Before starting a large migration project to ensure optimal stability

Updating the application helps maintain smooth operation and ensures that migration tasks run efficiently.

Steps to Update or Upgrade the Application

• Download the latest version of the EdbMails installer from the official download page.
• Run the downloaded installer on the system where the current EdbMails application is already installed.
• Ensure the application is closed before starting the update. If it is running, the installer will automatically stop the program during the upgrade process. Any paused migrations may need to be resumed manually after the update.
• If EdbMails is installed on multiple machines in your environment, repeat the same update procedure on each system.
• After the installation is complete, launch the updated application. Your previous settings will remain intact, but any ongoing or paused migrations should be resumed manually.
