Additional Components
Some additional components are not included in BlueMind's default install and require you to install extra packages.

Subscription-based Components
The BlueMind subscription includes additional tools and features:
- the ActiveDirectory import tool.
To find out more, go to the page Implementing the subscription
Provisioning
After BlueMind is installed, to insure best performance, some settings need to be configured according to your equipment and the number of users, namely:
- number of IMAP processes: In the admin console, go to the System Configuration page - chapter 1.2: Cyrus
- nginx workers: In the admin console, go to the System Configuration page - chapter 2: Reverse proxy
Data migration
For data migration to be successful, it must be carried out from server to server using data export/import tools.
Any data transfer carried out by users or through thick clients (Outlook, Thunderbird) can be tricky in terms of volume and may lead to user data inconsistencies in the new instance of BlueMind.
For each type of data, we therefore advice you to use the following:
- Contacts: VCard exports and imports
- Events: ICS imports/exports
- Emails: depending on the source server, imapSync, Exchange or Domino migration tool.
Please ask BlueMind or your BlueMind partner for help with data migration.
