Blurb: “BlueMail, by Blix, a free, beautifully designed, universal email app, capable of managing an unlimited number of mail accounts from various providers, allowing for smart push notifications and group emailing, while enabling personalization across multiple email accounts. The BlueMail app connects directly to your mail server and is the perfect replacement for your stock email app.“
Installation
Installing Bluemail is as easy as a one-click Snap or smaller .deb-file. On my Ubuntu 18.04 installation, I needed no dependencies. Bluemail is under active development and updated regularly.
Bluemail is free, but not open source. Bluemail gives you: Gmail, yahoo, hotmail, outlook, comcast, aol, live msn, att, charter, sbcglobal, verizon, cox, icloud, mail, gmx, bellsouth, roadrunner and earthlink - supported as pre-configured. Know that it also supports manual setup.
There is nothing fancy about Bluemail; it simply gets the job done. There are settings for you to fiddle with, but overall it is WYSIWYG. It “just works”. Bluemail hooks into your email, so there is none of that crap where gmail – for instance, will lock your accounts because an “unknown” mail program accessed your account, or Yahoo mail just stopped coming through.
You have three views, compact, default and split view – though in compact view, the compose icon is messed up. In essence, all these views do is mix up the three panes, hiding one. The integrated calendar is simply a sliding panel, which is nice for a quick view of your agenda.
BlueMail Features
Unified Inbox: You are able to see all your mail accounts in one place.
Personalized Inbox: Claims to be people-centric. There is a switch for “all email” and people-only.
Powerful Email Clustering and Groups: Honestly, I didn’t find these features, probably in the non-free version.
Share Email: Not in the free version.
Get stuff Done: Allows you to mark emails for later. Read today, read later, or mark as done (this is hidden behind ellipses). Then in your tasks.
The Dark theme is really easy on the eyes after the sun goes down. It is a very dark grey, with orange highlights.
You can have notification sounds if you like.
Tasks is named “your later board”, and gives you a three-pane layout, today, later, and done. You can also add your own columns to sort your todos into.
BlueMail is a popular app on mobile phones, on Google Play, it has millions of downloads, and it is not hard to see why. If you wanted a good Outlook alternative, BlueMail is most likely for you, the interface is clean and uncluttered, and a breath of fresh air for Linux email clients (which have traditionally been stuck in 1991).
When minimised, it sits in the taskbar and quietly monitors your email accounts every few minutes. Running nethogs, one can see when it polls your email server.
I have been using it for the last few months and have not had any issues. I can recommend it to anyone who just needs their email to be available and ready.
