Main Menu

The main menu contains several sections which let you control some of the basic functions of the administration interface.

Field	Description
Open	Allows you to open any text file with the IceWarp Server text editor. Useful for viewing or editing plain text files.
Save settings	Saves any changes that have been made in the administration console.
Reload settings	Reloads the administration console. Any changes that have been made (e.g. via the API or Web administration console) will be reflected after the reload. Shortcut F5 can be used.
File Manager	Opens File Manager to work with files. NOTE: Besides of usual shortcuts etc. you can use a command for changing directories. E.g. CD D:\
SQL Manager	Opens SQL Manager. For more information, refer to the System – Tools – SQL Manager chapter.
DNS Tool	Opens DNS Tool. For more information, refer to the System – Tools – DND Tool chapter.
API console	Opens the API console window. Here you can manage API values. For more information, refer to the API Console chapter.
Backup settings	Allows you to backup your current configuration to a .ZIP file. This file contains all your system settings, domains, and users. This will also backup the spam and groupware databases if using the default SQLite databases meaning all contacts, calendars, and white & blacklists are backed up. NOTE: If your accounts are set to use a database instead of file system, this database is NOT backed up, requiring you to backup the database manually and/or using the option in the System – Tools – System Backup – Database section to sync your databases to another database server.
Restore settings	Allows you to restore your system settings, databases, and users/domains from the backed up .ZIP file. Before restoring we recommend renaming the /IceWarp/Config folder in the event the restore fails and you need to fall back to default settings. This is possible if applying a backup from a much older version or from a different server where the paths were different. For more information refer to the Configuration Backup and Restore chapter.
Exit	Exit the IceWarp Server administration console.

For information about the Bookmarks menu item, refer to the Remote Server Administration – Bookmarks – Bookmarks Manager chapter.

help_menu_III

The Help menu contains common items such as links to the IceWarp website, Release notes and Quick Start Guide.

The most important is the Help... menu item, which opens context sensitive help, and the License... item, which opens the License dialog where you can manage the product's license.

The Purchase... item will bring you to IceWarp Purchase Processing where you can obtain a license if you are evaluating the product.

The Check For New Version option will query the official site to see if there is a newer version of IceWarp Server available.

The Export license... option serves the purpose of exporting your current license into an XML formatted file, which can be required when upgrading, or it can be saved for license backup.

Clicking the Request support... item will open the browser on IceWarp Support Center web page, where you can submit technical and sales support inquiries. You need to have a login to the system in order to use it, but the registration is free, as part of your IceWarp Server license.
