Common Issues

Stale Data

If emails, labels, or counts appear stale without a full sign-out, open the command palette (Cmd+K), type Clear Cache and Reload, and select it. Slashy clears the local cache and reloads fresh data from the server. You stay signed in.

When an update won’t install

Slashy downloads updates in the background and shows an Update ready card in the bottom-left corner. Click the install button to restart into the new version, or Later to keep working. If an update fails to install repeatedly, the card changes to Update isn’t installing and says what to do:

Signed in to the wrong account

The desktop app keeps its own sign-in, separate from your browser. If you subscribed in the browser under one account and the desktop app shows the payment screen, check the address under Signed in as on that screen. Click Use a different account to sign out and sign in with the right one. During Gmail setup, Wrong Slashy account? Sign in with a different one does the same.
