How to Install BlueMail on Pop!_OS

BlueMail for Linux ships through the Snap Store. Pop!_OS is based on Ubuntu but ships without Snap preinstalled (System76 favors Flatpak). Unlike Linux Mint, nothing blocks Snap — snapd is simply absent and installs normally from the repositories. BlueMail requires a 64-bit Intel/AMD (amd64) system.

Steps to Install BlueMail on Pop!_OS:

1. Update the package list:

   sudo apt update
   

2. Install Snap: Install the Snap daemon (snapd):

   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 BlueMail via Snap:

   sudo snap install bluemail
   

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

Conclusion:

Pop!_OS leaves Snap out of the default install, but since it's Ubuntu-based, snapd installs in seconds and BlueMail is one command away.
