how do I update my mac mail to latest version?

Realized I have an old version of mac mail that never updated with my OS X updates. I'm searching for a simple update to the latest version

and can't seem to find how. The old version is slowing my mail and corrupting certain emails.


Thanks in advance for help.

MacBook Pro, OS X Yosemite (10.10.1)

The current version is 8.1. If that is not what you have you'll need to re-install Yosemite. Mail isn't available as a separate download.


Do a backup. Boot to the Recovery Volume (command - R on a restart or hold down the option key during a restart and select Recovery Volume). Run Disk Utility Verify/Repair and Repair Permissions until you get no errors. Then re-install the OS.
