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.
