How to Install Prospect Mail on Ubuntu 24.04
Installing Prospect Mail on Ubuntu 24.04 gives you a handy desktop app for your webmail.
Prospect Mail is like a special program that wraps your web email, making it a separate app you can open instead of using a browser tab.
This means you don’t need to keep your email website open all the time. You can just click its icon on your desktop to check your mail quickly.
Download the Debian package using wget and install it with sudo dpkg -i. You can then launch Prospect Mail by pressing the Super key and typing “Prospect”. Alternatively, check the Snap store for availability and install using sudo snap install prospect-mail.
Download the Prospect mail client
Download the Prospect Mail Client: This can be downloaded for Ubuntu 24.04 using its Debian package. Prospect Mail, currently at version 2.5, is an older program. If you still want to install Prospect Mail, you can get the download link from the Prospect Mail website.
If you still want to use Prospect, you can grab the Debian package archive here: Download Prospect.
Open your terminal and run this command to download the file:
wget https://github.com/julian-alarcon/prospect-mail/releases/download/v0.5.4/prospect-mail_0.5.4_amd64.deb
Next, install the file with this command:
sudo dpkg -i ./prospect-mail*.deb
Launch Prospect Mail
After installing, press the Super key (which looks like the Windows logo) on your keyboard. Type “Prospect” and press Enter to open the app.
Install Prospect Mail via Snap
Installing Prospect Mail on Ubuntu 24.04 via Snap is an option akin to using an app store on your computer.
Run this command to install:
sudo snap install prospect-mail
If you want to remove the app later, use this command:
sudo snap remove prospect-mail
Conclusion
Prospect Mail for Ubuntu 24.04 can be installed via a Debian package or the Snap store. However, Prospect Mail is no longer updated and will not receive security fixes. For a safer email experience, especially looking ahead to 2026, Thunderbird or Geary are recommended alternatives as Prospect Mail is unmaintained.
- Maintenance: Prospect Mail is unmaintained. Consider switching to Thunderbird or Geary for a better 2026 experience.
- Installation: You can use a Debian package or check the Snap store.
- Access: Simply press the Super key to find and launch your email app quickly.
