As a leader in the professional market providing services to over 100,000 companies worldwide, BlueMail is now able to serve its largest customer base yet. Its users benefit from a single, modern experience across all of their devices without compromising on premium features, security or privacy:

• Personalized Inbox: Focus on the most important emails in your inbox with automated filtering that separates services from real people and makes it easy to visualize long chains of correspondence. Unified folders also make it simple to organize email across multiple accounts.
• Powerful Email Clustering and Groups: Take productivity to the next level with inbox clusters that organize your email into easy-to-read categories and quickly group contacts together to avoid having to type out multiple recipients.
• Share Email: Easily share emails with colleagues and communities without starting a long chain of replies or forwards. Using a secure link, users can share their emails through corporate intranets, social media platforms, or mobile messaging clients and interact without revealing their email addresses.
• All the Essentials: Support for any email account (standards include IMAP, POP3, SMTP, ActiveSync and EWS), integrated calendar support for Google, Exchange, and CalDAV, email snoozing to prioritize tasks, and a secure direct connection to any email server without the use of an email proxy.

Brothers Dan and Ben Volach founded Blix with the vision to provide an innovative, universally compatible, uncompromisingly private and secure messaging experience for businesses. This startup is not the first they have led together; they also built Followap, an early pioneer of mobile messaging that had over 200 million subscribers at its peak and laid the technical foundation for today’s mobile messaging giants, including WhatsApp, Facebook Messenger, QQ, and many others before it was acquired by NeuStar.
