BlueMail for Linux ships through the Snap Store. elementary OS is built on Ubuntu but is Flatpak-first, so Snap isn't preinstalled. Nothing blocks it, though — snapd installs normally from the repositories. BlueMail requires a 64-bit Intel/AMD (amd64) system.
Steps to Install BlueMail on elementary OS:
Update the package list:
sudo apt update
Install Snap: Install the Snap daemon (
snapd):sudo apt install snapd
Log out and back in: Log out of your session and back in (or restart) so the Snap paths are picked up correctly.
Install BlueMail via Snap:
sudo snap install bluemail
Once installed, launch BlueMail from your applications menu (Slingshot) or by running bluemail in a terminal.
Conclusion:
elementary OS focuses on Flatpak, but Snap is fully supported once snapd is installed — and with it, BlueMail installs and stays up to date automatically.
