How to Install BlueMail on Manjaro

Linux

BlueMail for Linux ships through the Snap Store. Unlike Arch, Manjaro carries snapd in its official repositories, you just need to install it and enable the Snap socket. BlueMail requires a 64-bit Intel/AMD (amd64) system.

Steps to Install BlueMail on Manjaro:

  1. Install Snap: Install the Snap daemon (snapd) with pacman:

    sudo pacman -S snapd
    
  2. Enable the Snap socket: Start the Snap daemon and enable it at boot:

    sudo systemctl enable --now snapd.socket
    
  3. Enable AppArmor support for Snap: Manjaro ships with AppArmor, so also enable Snap's AppArmor service:

    sudo systemctl enable --now snapd.apparmor
    
  4. Install BlueMail via Snap:

    sudo snap install bluemail
    

Alternatively, you can enable Snap support graphically in Add/Remove Software (Pamac) → Preferences → Third Party and then install BlueMail from there.

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

Conclusion:

Manjaro keeps snapd in its official repositories, so enabling Snap takes only a couple of commands. Once enabled, Snap installs BlueMail and keeps it up to date automatically.
