How to Install BlueMail on openSUSE

BlueMail for Linux ships through the Snap Store. openSUSE doesn't include snapd in its default repositories, so you first add the official snappy repository, then install and enable Snap. BlueMail requires a 64-bit Intel/AMD (amd64) system.

Steps to Install BlueMail on openSUSE:

1. Add the snappy repository: For openSUSE Leap 16.0:

   sudo zypper addrepo --refresh https://download.opensuse.org/repositories/system:/snappy/openSUSE_Leap_16.0 snappy
   

   On Tumbleweed, use openSUSE_Tumbleweed instead of openSUSE_Leap_16.0 at the end of the URL (for Leap 15.6, use openSUSE_Leap_15.6).

2. Import the repository key and refresh:

   sudo zypper --gpg-auto-import-keys refresh
   

3. Install Snap:

   sudo zypper install snapd
   

4. Enable the Snap services:

   sudo systemctl enable --now snapd
   sudo systemctl enable --now snapd.apparmor
   

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:

openSUSE needs the extra step of adding the snappy repository, but after that, Snap works just like on any other distribution and keeps BlueMail up to date automatically.
