BlueMail for Linux ships through the Snap Store. On Red Hat Enterprise Linux and its derivatives — CentOS Stream, Rocky Linux, and AlmaLinux — snapd comes from the EPEL (Extra Packages for Enterprise Linux) repository. BlueMail requires a 64-bit Intel/AMD (amd64) system.
Steps to Install BlueMail on RHEL, Rocky Linux or AlmaLinux:
Enable the EPEL repository: On CentOS Stream, Rocky Linux, or AlmaLinux:
sudo dnf install epel-release
On RHEL itself, install the EPEL release package for your major version, e.g. for RHEL 9:
sudo dnf install https://dl.fedoraproject.org/pub/epel/epel-release-latest-9.noarch.rpm
Install Snap:
sudo dnf install snapd
Enable the Snap socket: Start the Snap daemon and enable it at boot:
sudo systemctl enable --now snapd.socket
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 or by running bluemail in a terminal.
Conclusion:
On enterprise Linux distributions, Snap is one EPEL repository away. Once snapd is installed and its socket enabled, Snap installs BlueMail and keeps it up to date automatically.
