Migration to IceWarp WebClient

Intended Audience

Only read this chapter if you are upgrading from IceWarp Server or Visnetic version 8.9 and lower. If you already have upgraded to version 9, skip this chapter altogether, unless you specifically avoided using AJAX WebMail up to this moment (with version 10 you have no choice but make the move).

Support for the classical HTML based WebMail was discontinued with version 9, after almost 5 successful years on the market.

The new AJAX based IceWarp WebClient has become the standard client interface for many years to come, taking the user experience, the functionality and future extensibility options to a new high.
