How to Install BlueMail on Arch Linux

BlueMail for Linux ships through the Snap Store. On Arch Linux, snapd isn't in the official repositories — it lives in the AUR (Arch User Repository). BlueMail requires a 64-bit Intel/AMD (amd64) system.

Steps to Install BlueMail on Arch Linux:

1. Build and install snapd from the AUR:

   git clone https://aur.archlinux.org/snapd.git
   cd snapd
   makepkg -si
   

   If you use an AUR helper, yay -S snapd (or the equivalent) does the same thing.

2. Enable the Snap socket: Start the Snap daemon and enable it at boot:

   sudo systemctl enable --now snapd.socket
   

3. Log out and back in: Log out of your session and back in (or restart) so the Snap paths are picked up correctly.

4. Install BlueMail via Snap:

   sudo snap install bluemail
   

Once installed, launch BlueMail from your applications menu or by running bluemail in a terminal.

Conclusion:

Arch Linux requires building snapd from the AUR and enabling its socket manually, but once that's done, Snap installs BlueMail and keeps it up to date automatically.
