Systems and methods for obtaining access to a session with a remote cloud service server. The methods comprising: receiving, by a first client computing device, a user unique identifier from a mobile device located in proximity to the first client computing device; and performing facial recognition operations by the first client computing device subsequent to the reception of the user unique identifier. The facial recognition operations comprise: capturing an image of the mobile device's user; and analyzing the image to obtain a user name associated with the facial features represented therein. A determination is made as to whether the user name matches the user unique identifier. If so, a first session with the remote cloud service server is automatically launched.

Systems and methods for providing remote desktop access

Described herein are methods and systems for displaying an email conversation similar to an instant message format by integrating aspects of an email system with an instant messaging interface. In one aspect, messages may be sent over existing email channels using email protocols through email servers and an email system (e.g., email client and/or email server) may identify the messages as cross-platform messages (CPM) based on whether the message body includes either no or only predefined content, or the message includes a predefined unique identifier. If a message is identified as a CPM then the message is treated similar to an instant message and may be displayed in a threaded view. In some embodiments, messages having content in the body may be treated as conventional email messages.
