#Show users how to find out which version of K-9 Mail they're running.

Introduction

For [http://code.google.com/p/k9mail/issues/list bug reports] it's important for the developers to know which version of K-9 Mail you're using. This is especially true if you attach [LoggingErrors debug logs], since these tell us in which line of the source code the error occured. And because we're continually working on improving K-9 Mail these line numbers change frequently.

Follow the instructions below to find out the exact version number of the K-9 Mail you're running.

Details

There are at least two ways to find out the K-9 Mail version number. You can check the about box of the application or you can use the application management tool of Android.

About Box

Start K-9 Mail

Go to the accounts screen

Press the menu button and hit "About"

The K-9 Mail version is shown in the second line

Settings / Manage applications (deprecated)

As of version 3.112 this method reveals the build number, not the K-9 Mail version number. It's a 5-digit number, e.g. 10013, that's unrelated to the version number.

Go to "Settings" in Android

Choose "Applications", then "Manage applications"

Look for K-9 Mail and press that list item

The version is shown as 4-digit number below the application name. If you see e.g. 2403 this means you're running K-9 Mail version 2.403.

Note: If you built your own version of K-9 Mail from the Repository please include the revision number in your bug report.
