Hi guys,
Thank you for the question,
@pmg!
Right, in the 2023 year, we collected some numbers related to Horde Webmail to decide what we need to do with it (exactly because of the reasons explained in the first post of the thread). Based on the numbers, we decided to wait a while to see trends and check will something changed with Horde for that time or not.
Recently, we have checked the numbers one more time and I can say that the popularity of Horde is declining over time.
- No mentions of Horde on Plesk' deprecation plan
This is not an easy task, since a significant part of the servers continues to use Horde. We still are considering updating the deprecating plan. If/when decide to do that, it also will be announced in the Plesk Change Log. To this information, I can only add that in any case, we will give users enough time (a few months) to move to another webmail if decide to deprecate Horde.
[...] what is the best practice around webmail in Plesk?
Plesk for Linux, like Plesk for Windows, supports different webmail clients. Since the question is asked in the section "Plesk Obsidian for Linux", I would recommend taking a look at
Roundcube and
the SOGo Webmail extension as a free alternative to Horde. As you can see in
Plesk Changelog, both solutions are updated regularly and supported by Plesk. It is also possible to configure different webmails for different domains at the same time, there is no requirement to choose only one solution for the whole server.
