The BlueMind team is proud to introduce our new major release, which can be downloaded here!
A word of caution
BlueMind 4.0 is exclusively available for fresh installs for now:
upgrades from previous releases are not supported yet.
Native Outlook support
New feature #1 without a doubt is native Outlook support. However this
is brought by the BlueMind subscription: you’ll need an evaluation
subscription (ask
here](https://www.bluemind.net/formulaire-de-contact/))) to be able to
install the required bm-mapi package. We provide step-by-step
instructions
here. Keep
in mind that there are still some rough edges, but we’re working on
them! You’ll find details on theses limitations in our
documentation.
Native Outlook support is not supported on RedHat yet, but it will
definitely be part of the final release, and hopefully even sooner.
Administration
BlueMind 4.0 enables administrators to dispatch user information (not
only email) on multiple dedicated servers, which can improve data
consistency and performance.
Mail archiving is now fully automatic: your users won’t notice a
difference between regular and archived mail.
New e-mail entry points in the REST API
BlueMind 4.0 is adding entry points for e-mail management, you will
find them in our new REST API doc
page.
We now provide an API comparison tool that will help you to maintain
your add-ons and scripts between BlueMind releases by showing
incompatibilities.
