Install and register netMail

Windows

1. Open the download page. Choose Windows 64 Bit; a separate setup is available for 32-bit systems.
2. Run the downloaded setup file. The publisher must appear as Net-Base Software GmbH.
3. Follow the installation steps and start netMail from the Start menu.

Linux

For Ubuntu and Debian use the DEB package, for CentOS, Fedora and related systems the RPM package. Open a terminal in the download folder and install the downloaded file:

sudo apt install ./netmail_*_amd64.deb
sudo dnf install ./netmail-*-1.x86_64.rpm

Use only the line that matches your system. DEB and RPM set up the signed package source for future system updates. The TAR.GZ archive is an alternative: unpack it and use the included starter netMail.

macOS on Apple Silicon

1. Download the DMG for macOS Apple Silicon. You need macOS 14 or newer on a Mac with Apple silicon.
2. Open the DMG and drag netMail into the Applications folder.
3. Eject the image and start the app from Applications.

The DMG and app are signed with a Developer ID, notarized by Apple and include the notarization proof. Bypassing the macOS security settings is not necessary.
