"Your version of Evernote for Mac is out of date" email

[Metrodon 2,184]

Anyone else getting email like this from Evernote?

 

 

Your version of Evernote for Mac is out of date."

The version of Evernote you are using does not support key Evernote functionality. 

 

In addition to keeping more of your content in sync with your other devices, the newest version of Evernote for Mac includes a new and improved note editor and support for El Capitan Split View.

 

To get the update: 

1. Open Evernote for Mac 

2. Select ‘Help’ from the menu and then ‘check for updates’"

 

I wouldn't mind, but I'm on 6.2, plus it's a really bad way to communicate with users.

Yes, I got it too and am likewise on 6.2. At first I thought it was a phish and was suspicious. 

 

How low can you go, Evernote? Who the hell makes these communication decisions?

 

Very bad form.

I also received a similar email (below)  which looks like a very shoddy scam attempt, and asks me to click on link within it.

Surely this can't be a genuine communication, can it?  I certainly don't want to risk it!

UPDATE EVERNOTE FOR WINDOWS  "

I'm beginning to feel left out - haven't had one of these emails yet..  that last Windows one does sound suspicious though,  although it is accurate that the editor and tables have been improved..  If you still have it,  I'd suggest raising a support ticket and sending it back(?) to Evernote so they can figure it out.
