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.
