Download BlueMail
Every official download, on every platform, with a short note on how to tell a real BlueMail build from the mirrors that repackage it.

BlueMail is free on five platforms. This is where each one comes from, and how to be sure the thing you installed is the build BlueMail actually shipped.
Get it from the store
Always install from the platform’s own store where one exists. The store build is signed, it updates itself, and it is the version support can actually reason about when something goes wrong.
The full list of official links is at the bottom of this page.
Why the mirrors are a bad idea
Search for the Android package and you will find APK mirrors, aggregator sites and “modded” builds promising the paid features for free. Some of those are simply out of date. Others have been repackaged, which on Android means someone re-signed the app with their own key and you have no way to know what changed between the official build and theirs.
An email client holds the keys to every account you own. Password resets for your bank, your domain registrar and your cloud provider all land in it. It is the last app on your device worth saving four seconds on.
If a source is not on this list, treat it as unofficial.
What you need to run it
Mobile. Current Android and iOS releases, with support for the versions Google and Apple still patch. If your device is old enough that it no longer receives security updates, that is a bigger problem than which mail client you run.
Desktop. Windows 10 and 11 including ARM, macOS on Apple silicon or Intel, and Linux via Snap or conventional Debian and RPM packaging.
Setting up in two minutes
- Install and open the app
- Add your first account. For Gmail, Microsoft 365, Outlook and Yahoo, sign in through the provider’s own login screen. BlueMail never sees the password, it receives a token you can revoke from your provider at any time
- Add the rest. Repeat for as many mailboxes as you have
- Choose unified or separate inboxes
- Set notifications per account, so the work mailbox can interrupt you and the newsletters cannot
Custom or self-hosted servers need the usual IMAP or SMTP host, port and security settings. If your provider publishes autodiscover, BlueMail will find them itself.
Moving from another client
Nothing needs exporting. Mail lives on your provider’s server, not inside your old client, so adding the account to BlueMail brings the whole mailbox with it. Folders, flags and read state come across because they were never local in the first place.
The one thing worth doing by hand is signatures, which most clients keep locally.
