Then I began to look for applications for accessing mail not through the web interface. Thunderbird did not start for her, because... it is 64-bit and the OS is 32-bit. So I found this program among all the alternatives - Mailspring. As it turns out, it is not only free and open source, but also works on Windows and Linux and is actively being developed. Home page -. ### Mailspring can be installed from Snap **1) Install the SnapD service according to the instructions for your OS** *(If Snap has not been installed previously).* For example, for Linux Mint "Vera" or Russian Linux Green: For any Linux OS:[snapd installation instructions](https://snapcraft.io/docs/installing-snapd) ``` sudo apt update sudo apt install snapd sudo snap install hello-world ``` **2) Installing the mailspring email client from Snap** ``` sudo snap install mailspring ``` **3) Launch the mailspring email client** Launch the email program from the Start menu in the Internet applications section - "**Mailspring"**. ### First launch of MailSpring [ ![mailspring1](https://ra1ahq.blog/images/c/f/7/b/d/cf7bd518306a9fd3a91773bcb39b47044e19fc40-mailspring1.png "mailspring1")](https://ra1ahq.blog/images/c/f/7/b/d/cf7bd518306a9fd3a91773bcb39b47044e19fc40-mailspring1.png?cropresize=700,525) Click "Get Started".

I missed this point - clicked **"Just need the basics? Skip for now"**: [ ![mailspring4](https://ra1ahq.blog/images/f/f/1/7/8/ff178951b646725726a0691d6a29f59f8ad8da9b-mailspring4.png "mailspring4")](https://ra1ahq.blog/images/f/f/1/7/8/ff178951b646725726a0691d6a29f59f8ad8da9b-mailspring4.png?cropresize=700,525) The next screen confirmed that the cloud capabilities associated with Mailspring ID are not required: [ ![mailspring5](https://ra1ahq.blog/images/f/f/b/8/0/ffb80f51c6d1d801f95b285186c34a76ecc675b9-mailspring5.png "mailspring5")](https://ra1ahq.blog/images/f/f/b/8/0/ffb80f51c6d1d801f95b285186c34a76ecc675b9-mailspring5.png?cropresize=700,525) **Note:** on some, but not all distributions (for example, Linux Mint "Vera"), you may receive a message that Mailspring cannot securely store your password: *"Mailspring was unable to securely store your password. For more information, visit https://community.getmailspring.com/t/password-management-error/199"* [ ![mailspring6](https://ra1ahq.blog/images/b/8/e/5/f/b8e5f775d39e6303b41c6bbca2a8a2dd274dca0c-mailspring6.png "mailspring6")](https://ra1ahq.blog/images/b/8/e/5/f/b8e5f775d39e6303b41c6bbca2a8a2dd274dca0c-mailspring6.png?cropresize=700,525) Help on storing passwords can be found at:. It contains a solution: You need to install gnome-keyring with libsecret and run mailspring with the parameter: ``` mailspring --password-store="gnome-libsecret" ``` In such distributions, you will need to add this parameter to the desktop application call file: ``` sudo nano /var/lib/snapd/desktop/applications/mailspring_mailspring.desktop. ``` You need to fix the last line by adding the key to the "Exec=" line:**--password-store="gnome-libsecret"** `Exec=env BAMF_DESKTOP_FILE_HINT=/var/lib/snapd/desktop/applications/mailspring_mailspring.desktop /snap/bin/mailspring --password-store="gnome-libsecret" mailto:` And save the changes: Ctrl+O, Ctrl+X In other distributions (Linux Green), there is no password saving error and editing the mailspring\_mailspring.desktop file is not required. In both cases, you need to go to the window with the link "**" just need the basics? Skip for now "**", after clicking on which the setup wizard will offer to connect to one of the well-known email services, for example, Yandex mail, or to an arbitrary IMAP/SMTP server.
