Update or Upgrade EdbMails IMAP Migration Software
Keep EdbMails updated when you need fixes, security improvements, compatibility changes, or new migration functionality available in a newer build. Before upgrading a computer that is running an active migration project, review the release notes, pause or finish active jobs, and record the current job status so you can verify continuity after the update.
Check the Installed Version
The installed version is shown in the EdbMails application. Compare it with the current release available from the EdbMails download page or release notes before deciding whether an update is required.
EdbMails version numbers can contain several numeric components separated by dots. Treat the release notes as the authoritative description of what changed in a particular build rather than relying only on the number format.
- Review the EdbMails release notes for fixes, features, and compatibility changes.
- Confirm the current IMAP migration system requirements before upgrading an older migration computer.
How to Upgrade EdbMails
Use the following process for an in-place update on a migration computer:
- Review active jobs: Complete or pause any active migration/export job and review the latest report so you know the current processing state.
- Exit EdbMails: Close the application before starting the installer. Do not rely on the installer to pause an active migration safely.
- Review release notes and requirements: Check the release notes and confirm that the computer still meets the current system requirements.
- Download the current installer: Get the installer from the official EdbMails download page.
- Run the installer: Install the newer build on the same computer using an account with the required Windows installation permissions.
- Launch and verify: Sign in, confirm the installed version, check that the required migration jobs and settings are available, and verify source/target connectivity before resuming production work.
- Multiple migration computers: If the same project uses EdbMails on more than one computer, review each installation and keep the production environment on a deliberate, tested version set.
Important: An application update should not be treated as a substitute for migration verification. After upgrading, test a representative mailbox or resume a small batch first, then confirm reports and target results before returning to full production concurrency.
