How to Install BlueMail on Debian

BlueMail for Linux ships through the Snap Store. Debian includes snapd in its official repositories, but it isn't preinstalled — install it once and BlueMail is a single command away. BlueMail requires a 64-bit Intel/AMD (amd64) system.

Steps to Install BlueMail on Debian:

  1. Update the package list:

    sudo apt update
    
  2. Install Snap: Install the Snap daemon (snapd) from Debian's official repositories:

    sudo apt install snapd
    
  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 the core snap: This ensures you have the latest Snap runtime:

    sudo snap install core
    
  5. Install BlueMail via Snap:

    sudo snap install bluemail
    

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

Conclusion:

Debian doesn't ship with Snap enabled, but snapd is in the official repositories, so setup takes just a few commands. Once installed, Snap keeps BlueMail up to date automatically.
