EDIT: The upgrade was completed on August 22nd at 12:20 AM and the changes are now live.
Sonic will be upgrading our webmail platform on Monday, August 21st, 2017 at 11:59 PM. Maintenance is expected to last 1 hour or less. During this time, webmail will be unavailable. Instead, you can use our beta platform if you need to check your email using webmail during this time. Other mail services will not be affected.
Background:
On June 26th, the first official release of Roundcube Webmail 1.3.0 was made available and we've upgraded Beta platform to provide a preview of the upcoming changes. We have been testing the new version and feel the system is stable and ready for public release.
The new version improves the performance and speed of the webmail system, offers an improved mobile skin and desktop user interface, and includes numerous bug fixes. To see the full list of technical changes, review the CHANGELOG for versions 1.3.0, 1.3-rc, and 1.3-beta.
We encourage everyone who uses webmail to test the beta version now and let us know if you encounter any issues or have any suggestions.
Please be aware of 2 major changes in 1.3.0.
1. The default mailbox view has changed! The mailbox view is now 3 columns wide and optimized for larger screens and wide screen layouts so the folder list, message list, and message preview are all visible at once. If you prefer not to use the 3-column view, you can switch back by clicking the Gear icon above the message list in the middle column, and selecting either "Desktop" or "List" beneath the Layout options and clicking Save.
2. Support for Internet Explorer 9 and below has been dropped. This only affects Windows XP or Windows Vista Internet Explorer users. In Internet Explorer 9 or earlier, webmail will no longer function properly. Those using Internet Explorer 9 and below are encouraged to update as these versions are no longer supported by Microsoft and put your computer at greater risk of getting viruses or falling victim to other threats. The latest version of Firefox will work with webmail on Vista and earlier.
Our mobile skin has also been updated and improved and is now fully functional on the beta site.
We'd love for members who regularly use webmail to try the new version now, before we launch the new version on August 21st. Please let us know if you see anything that's broken or doesn't work right, find any changes that are not to your liking, or have any questions on how to do something in the new version.
Thanks for your feedback and continued use of our webmail product!
