Citrix has released on August 8 a new version of Secure Mail 10.6.15
One of the main feature that lot of customers were expecting for Multiple Exchange Accounts for iOS
Multiple Exchange accounts for iOS
From Settings within Secure Mail, you can now add multiple Exchange email accounts and switch between them. This feature allows you to monitor all your mails, contacts, and calendars in one place.
Prerequisites
A user name and password is required to configure additional accounts. Automatic enrollment or credential store configurations applies only to the first account setup in the app. Type the user name and password for all additional accounts.
- To allow additional accounts to connect to a domain or Exchange Server in an external network, you must set split tunneling to ON in Citrix NetScaler.
- Secure Mail for iOS supports Exchange and Office 365 mail servers only.
