Mailspring Auto Update

Hello ,

I am wit Mac OS Catalina 10.15.7, so I need to use Mailspring 1.14.0 witch is the latest supported version, the problem is that Mailspring auto-update to actual version and stops working in Catalina.

I do not find this oprin in preferences.
How can I disable auto-update ?

Update: the auto-update is done when we quit the application.

I need a fix to be able to use Mailspring 1.14.0

Thnks

Unfortunately there’s no built-in setting to disable auto-updates in Mailspring. The best workaround for staying on an older version is to block Mailspring’s update server at the OS level — on macOS you can do this by adding a rule to /etc/hosts that points updates.getmailspring.com to 127.0.0.1. You’ll also need to make sure the Mailspring app file is not replaced; one option is to set the app bundle to read-only (chmod -R a-w /Applications/Mailspring.app) so the updater can’t overwrite it. Keep in mind that running very old versions does carry some security risk as vulnerabilities won’t be patched.
