How to Install BlueMail on Debian

Linux

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.
