Smartphones have become an integral part of our personal and professional lives, and it is common practice to check and send emails via smartphone. Mail servers provide not only messages but also contacts and calendar functions. However, with the multitude of protocols, different devices, and email apps, it is easy to lose track.
With Miradore, you can automatically set up email accounts on these clients, saving time and reducing errors (iOS, Android). Miradore also directly supports the distribution of a contact list on Android.
