Mailspring a beautiful and modern email client

Whether for academic, professional or even personal use, having an email is part of our routine, and with each new service or application we use, we are asked for an email account, and organize all our electronic letters. It's not always an easy task.

If you notice the familiar interface, this is because the app is a fork of Nylas N1, another email manager, maintained by one of its former developers, which ensures that faster Mailspring consumes half of the RAM and CPU because its base in C ++, unlike Nylas N1, which was composed of a JavaScritpt sync engine, also features a completely revamped composer and several new features.

Mailspring Distribution Formats

For Fedora and OpenSuse-based distros you can use the RPM option, if it's Debian, Ubuntu and Linux Mint, in DEB, however I strongly recommend the Snap option as it has auto-update as its differential, in other cases you have to download and install again with each new version of the program.

Another interesting aspect is that you can select Snap's software channels, and test the application in different development states, experimenting with possible new features.

Installing Mailspring Snap via Terminal

For terminal lovers, once you have set up Snap in your distro, use the following command:

sudo snap install mailspring

As I said earlier, with Snap you can test the other versions of Mailspring, just add one of the following flags: –candidate, –beta, –edge, for example suppose you want to test the beta version of the app, however Be aware that developing versions may contain bugs.

sudo snap install mailspring –beta

To uninstall via terminal is very easy.

sudo snap install mailspring

Installing Mailspring Snap via Store on Ubuntu

In the Ubuntu store you can find Mailspring by searching by its name and installing easily with just a few clicks.
