One self-contained binary. Point any app at SMTP 127.0.0.1:3535. Open to search and inspect HTML, text, raw source, headers, and attachments. The same port serves a REST API - existing clients only need a host override. Includes HTML email-client compatibility checks, categories, release to production SMTP, and outbound webhooks. Not a team tool: no accounts, no auth, no shared sandboxes. SQLite only. Localhost only. Complements hosted Mailtrap; it is not a Sandbox replacement. ### Package name * mailtrap-local --- ### License * MIT --- ### Last updated * 7 September 2026 - latest/stable --- ### Websites * [github.com/mailtrap/mailtrap-local](https://github.com/mailtrap/mailtrap-local "https://github.com/mailtrap/mailtrap-local") * [mailtrap.io](https://mailtrap.io "https://mailtrap.io") --- ### Source code * [github.com/mailtrap/mailtrap-local](https://github.com/mailtrap/mailtrap-local "https://github.com/mailtrap/mailtrap-local") --- ### Report a bug * [github.com/mailtrap/mailtrap-local/issues](https://github.com/mailtrap/mailtrap-local/issues "https://github.com/mailtrap/mailtrap-local/issues") --- ##### Report a Snap Store violation * [Report this Snap](https://snapcraft.io/install/mailtrap-local/ubuntu#report-snap-modal) --- ## Enable snaps on Ubuntu and install Mailtrap Local 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 If you’re running [Ubuntu 16.04 LTS (Xenial Xerus)](https://www.ubuntu.com/) or later, including [Ubuntu 18.04 LTS (Bionic Beaver)](https://www.ubuntu.com/desktop/features) and [Ubuntu 20.04 LTS (Focal Fossa)](https://wiki.ubuntu.com/FocalFossa/ReleaseNotes), you don’t need to do anything. Snap is already installed and ready to go. For versions of Ubuntu between [14.04 LTS (Trusty Tahr)](https://wiki.ubuntu.com/TrustyTahr/ReleaseNotes) and [15.10 (Wily Werewolf)](https://wiki.ubuntu.com/WilyWerewolf/ReleaseNotes), as well as Ubuntu flavours that don’t include *snap* by default, *snap* can be installed from the Ubuntu Software Centre by searching for *snapd*. Alternatively, snapd can be installed from the command line: ``` sudo apt update sudo apt install snapd ``` Either log out and back in again, or restart your system, to ensure snap’s paths are updated correctly. ### Install Mailtrap Local To install Mailtrap Local, simply use the following command: ``` sudo snap install mailtrap-local ``` ### Other popular snaps… [See more...](https://snapcraft.io/search?categories=featured) [See more in Featured](https://snapcraft.io/search?categories=featured) ### More things to do… #### [Get the snap store](https://snapcraft.io/snap-store) Browse and find snaps from the convenience of your desktop using the snap store snap. #### [Learn more about snaps](https://snapcraft.io/docs) Interested to find out more about snaps?
