Horde Email EOL

TCH-BillGeneral

Dear TCH Family,

Horde support will be removed from cPanel & WHM starting with Version 108. This is because Horde does not support PHP 8.x, and PHP 7.4 reaches its End of Life in November 2022. Horde relies on PHP 7.4, which reaches End of Life on November 28, 2022 and will no longer be available after this date. Because of this, cPanel will remove Horde.

Roundcube will become the primary cPanel Webmail client.

What does this mean for TotalChoice Customers that use Horde?
cPanel Webmail offering will be focused on Roundcube going forward. Your email will be available in Roundcube just as it is in Horde today.

What do I need to do to prepare for this?
Nothing.  All email and data will be moved from Horde to Roundcube.

What about my calendars and contacts?
When cPanel & WHM update to version 108, the system will automatically migrate all Horde data to Roundcube.

If you require any assistance please just let us know and our technical support team will be more than happy to assist.
