Well, I've just updated the package to use the latest version available in Snapcraft (1.136.30), and also hardcoded a workaround to the crash at startup in bluemail.sh, until the Electron version is updated.

But I have a warning: I personally don't recommend using this email client for now, because it uses a very old version of Electron (v13.3.0) which was released almost 2 years ago, and the developers of the application don't seem to care about the large number of CVEs of these old versions of Electron (I emailed them 9 months ago requesting an Electron update).

Also, because the version of Electron is old, there are many compatibility issues with newer libraries, such as even requiring the sandbox to be turned off (which is a very bad sign for security).

@bjo The Snap repo version is more recent compared to the deb and rpm packages.

Also, the binaries of the snap, deb and rpm packages are the same, since it's just an Electron application after all (and Electron is usually prebuilt), and we're not pulling any Snap platform dependencies whatsoever.

Any reason for using the snap version instead of the deb version?

the application exits itself

I manually downloaded squashfs-tools-4.5.1-3-x86_64.pkg.tar.zst, installed via pacman, then tried to install bluemail with yay and it worked.

@alissonlauffer, I think there is a problem with squashfs-tools package itself. It tries to install 4.5.1-2 .Check below please;

sudo pacman -S squashfs-tools

@koray you must update your packages first. the current squashfs-tools package version is 4.5.1-3, not 4.5.1-2.

Can't get the dependency package while installing bluemail-1.135.3-1.

The best email application by far.

If the application crashes at the splash screen, you may need to run bluemail --no-sandbox or add --no-sandbox to the application's arguments in your desktop environment.

Great thx, for the update feels great not to depend upon snapd / apparomour again albeit. snapd works out of the (sand)box it's still unneeded ressources.
