Discover SOGo: faster, modern, and collaborative webmail

Imagine starting your workday. You open your email and, instead of an outdated interface, you find a fast, clear environment designed to quickly move between messages, calendars, and contacts. That’s what the new SOGo webmail offers you, which comes to replace Roundcube and mark a quality leap in how you manage your email in cdmon.

This change only affects access via webmail. If you use Thunderbird, Outlook, Apple Mail, or any other email client installed on your device, you don’t have to do anything: everything will continue to work as usual. The difference is that now you can also sync calendars and contacts with those programs and devices.

We want to tell you what this change means, how it will affect your daily life, and why you should start using it as soon as possible.

From Roundcube to SOGo: a natural step

Email has evolved. It’s no longer just about reading and replying to messages: we need to coordinate meetings, share calendars, manage contacts, and access everything from any device. Roundcube had fallen short for those needs.

SOGo comes to solve it. It’s more than a webmail: it’s an online workspace from which you can manage not only your inbox but also your calendar, contacts, and tasks. And all in an intuitive way, with a renewed interface designed to be agile.

A smoother experience for you

The first thing you’ll notice when entering SOGo is its interface. It’s modern, intuitive, and fast. If you came from Roundcube, the difference is evident: fewer clicks, less time wasted, more clarity in every action.

But the important thing is not just the aesthetics, but what it means for you: working with less friction. You can check emails on your computer and, when going to a meeting, open the same inbox on your mobile with an identical experience. You don’t need to install anything; the browser itself adapts to any screen.

Additionally, SOGo is natively integrated with calendars and contacts. This means you can schedule an appointment from your email and see it immediately in your mobile calendar, or save a contact and have it available on all your devices without duplicating steps.

What changes for you?

• Roundcube focused solely on email.
• SOGo adds calendars, contacts, and tasks, all integrated.
• Roundcube offered a functional interface but limited on mobiles.
• SOGo is fully responsive, perfect for accessing from any screen.
• And now, with SOGo, you also have two-factor authentication (2FA) to enhance the security of your accesses.

What won’t change: your emails

Sometimes, when talking about migrations, there’s a concern about losing information. We want you to have complete peace of mind: no email is lost.

Your messages will remain stored on the server and accessible from SOGo or any client configured with IMAP/SMTP. The only thing that changes is the entry point: a new, more modern one with many more possibilities.

How to access the new webmail

Access is as simple as before:

1. Open your browser and type sogo.yourdomain.tld.
2. Enter your full email as the user (example: user@yourdomain.tld).
3. Enter your usual password.

You don’t need to create new passwords or make configuration changes.

If your domain is managed in cdmon, you already have everything ready: the necessary DNS records are created automatically. If, on the other hand, you use external DNS, you will need to manually apply the settings detailed in the official configuration guide.

Compatibility assured

If you already use email programs on your computer, you won’t have to change them. SOGo works with standard protocols (IMAP and SMTP), ensuring that your messages will always be synchronized.

The difference is that now you can also take your calendars and contacts with you thanks to CalDAV and CardDAV. That means what you create or modify in SOGo will also appear on your devices and external clients, and vice versa.

In other words: less time duplicating information and more time working on what really matters.

The transition period: peace of mind assured

We know that changes can raise doubts. That’s why we’ve designed a gradual transition. Roundcube will remain available until December 1, 2025, accessible from roundcube.yourdomain.tld.

This gives you enough time to adapt. But the sooner you start, the better.

There’s an important detail: your contacts and signatures saved in Roundcube do not migrate automatically. But you can transfer them in a few minutes.

In the case of signatures, you will need to configure them again from SOGo. Take this moment to review and update them if needed.

Common mistakes when making the switch and how to avoid them

In this process, the most common mistakes have quick solutions:

• Accessing with an incomplete user. Remember to always use the full email (example@yourdomain.tld).
• Relying on contacts to transfer automatically. It’s essential to export and import them manually.
• Postponing the configuration of signatures. If you want to maintain your professional identity, reconfigure your signatures in SOGo as soon as possible.

Best practices to make the most of it

The real difference of SOGo webmail is in how you use it. It’s not just about sending emails, but about leveraging its collaborative potential. Some practical recommendations:

• Organize your calendars: one personal, another shared with your team, even another for specific projects.
• Sync your contacts with your mobile to never lose an important number.
• Set up tasks directly in SOGo to have them alongside your inbox.
• Explore calendar views: daily, weekly, or monthly, as it suits you.

These small actions will make your email more than just a mailbox and turn it into a complete organization tool.
