Synchronizing Mailboxes

Synchronizing a shared mailbox allows it to be easily accessed and used via other clients, such as Thunderbird, Outlook, macOS, iOS or Android.

Consulting a synchronized shared mailbox​

The differences between a synchronized shared mailbox and a non-synchronized shared mailbox are summarized below. Under certain conditions, it may be possible to consult a shared mailbox even if it is not synchronized.

✅ La boîte partagée et l'ensemble de ses éléments sont copiés sur le client lourd ou mobile
✅ Les modifications sont automatiquement prises en compte dans l'application Messagerie de BlueMind et dans l'application du client lourd ou du mobile - à condition d'être en mode connecté
✅ La boite partagée est consultable dans l'application du client lourd ou du mobile, en mode connecté et hors connexion

Data volume warning

When the volume of data contained in a mailbox is large, a message warns of possible synchronization problems.

Please note that some differences may appear depending on the synchronization protocol and the client:

For more information on the features and compatible applications for each client, consult the Compatibility page.
