Multi-factor authentication​

New thick client​

BlueMind 5.4 provides users with Windows client workstations with the beta version of its new client software, enabling them to use BlueMind applications independently of their browser:

This new means of access offers many advantages:

  • It is browser-independent, allowing the user to free himself from the global rules/constraints imposed on the browser by an organization (type and version, policy on local browser data, etc.).
  • It offers direct access to the Windows certificate store for S/MIME.
  • It is managed as an application (icon to identify it, shortcut on the desktop or in the Start menu, automatic launch, etc.).
  • Software upgrades are independent of BlueMind server upgrades**: the software benefits from additional improvements and patches, and can (and should) be upgraded frequently.
  • It offers better system built-in.

For further information, see Configuring and using the BlueMind client.

Webmail: new composer features​

When composing an email, it is now possible to delete or duplicate text formatting. It's also possible to add emoticons 🎉

For further information, see the page Editing message contents

Calendar: event history​

Following feedback from customers/users, the calendar history has been reintroduced: users can once again view their event creations and upgrades.

For further information, see Editing a calendar event.

Alfresco support​

After Nextcloud, BlueMind now offers the option of connecting mail to Alfresco, an open source document and content management (EDM - ECM) solution that can be built-in to certain collaborative platforms, such as GoFast.

Users can use their usual workspace to manage the files they send via their BlueMind mail, and benefit from the advantages offered by their in-house solution:

  • BlueMind's attachment functionality allows users to browse their Alfresco space,
  • sending large files by e-mail automatically stores the files in Alfresco and adds the download link to the e-mail,
  • detaching email attachments deposits files in the user's Alfresco space.
