Switch from Horde to Roundcube Webmailer

We currently move our webmail service to Roundcube, since the developement on the Horde webmailer has ceased. This transition should be smoothly for all users, as all emails and personally created folder structures will remain.

But in case you created and saved your address book in Horde, we request of you to save and export it to Roundcube. You will otherwise lose access to it when Horde will be shutdown:

  • Log in to Horde: https://webmail.fa.uni-tuebingen.de
  • Select the tab Address Book and click on Import/Export in the left menu.
  • Below Export Address Book select the one you want to save. Viable export formats are comma separated values or vCard. Click Export to save you address book locally.
  • Now log in to Roundcube: https://webmail.math.uni-tuebingen.de
  • Select Contacts on the left side and then Import in the top menu. Select the locally saved address book and confirm.
