#### The best email app for people and teams at work

Mailspring is a fast, beautiful desktop email app for Linux. It features a unified inbox, powerful thread-based email management and beautiful themes, as well as standard features like mail rules, templates, and more. It uses a C++ sync engine that idles quietly with a small memory footprint, and features rich integration with Linux desktop environments (notifications, system tray indicator, etc).

Mailspring is open-source, and creating an account (a "Mailspring ID") is fully optional. Signing in with a Mailspring ID enables features like link tracking, read receipts, and rich social profiles alongside conversations, and a paid "Pro" version is available for professional users that make heavy use of these server-connected features.

Email sync is fully performed on your machine. Mailspring does not send your email credentials to the cloud, perform Gmail / O365 Oauth through it's servers, or transfer your email data off your machine.

## Enable snaps on openSUSE and install Mailspring

Snaps are applications packaged with all their dependencies to run on all popular Linux distributions from a single build. They update automatically and roll back gracefully.

Snaps are discoverable and installable from the [Snap Store](https://snapcraft.io/store), an app store with an audience of millions.

### Enable snapd

Snap can be installed from the command line on openSUSE Leap 15.x and Tumbleweed.

You need first add the *snappy* repository from the terminal. Choose the appropriate command depending on your installed openSUSE flavor.

Tumbleweed:

```
sudo zypper addrepo --refresh https://download.opensuse.org/repositories/system:/snappy/openSUSE_Tumbleweed snappy
```

Leap 15.x:

```
sudo zypper addrepo --refresh https://download.opensuse.org/repositories/system:/snappy/openSUSE_Leap_15.6 snappy
```

If needed, Swap out `openSUSE_Leap_15.` for, `openSUSE_Leap_16.0` if you’re using a different version of openSUSE.

With the repository added, import its GPG key:

```
sudo zypper --gpg-auto-import-keys refresh
```

Finally, upgrade the package cache to include the new *snappy* repository:

```
sudo zypper dup --from snappy
```

Snap can now be installed with the following:

```
sudo zypper install snapd
```

You then need to either reboot, logout/login or `source /etc/profile` to have /snap/bin added to PATH.
Additionally, enable and start both the *snapd* and the *snapd.apparmor* services with the following commands:

```
sudo systemctl enable --now snapd
sudo systemctl enable --now snapd.apparmor
```
