This seems to be a popular topic today in tech support land, so I created a new tech article explaining how to move IceWarp Mail Server to a new computer. Hope this helps anyone thinking about moving IceWarp to a new computer!
Move IceWarp Mail Server to a New Computer
Kerio MailServer is a messaging and collaboration server that provides powerful protection against viruses and spam, and delivers secure access to e-mail, contacts, tasks and calendars.

Release Notes: Here
The successful North American launch of * IceWarp Unified Communications Server Version 10 paves the way for the platform’s highly-anticipated worldwide rollout.
Washington D.C. – December 9, 2009 – The response to the recent North American release of IceWarp Unified Communications Server Version 10 has been overwhelmingly positive. Now, as IceWarp brings its revolutionary platform into the worldwide market, it is poised to replicate this success globally.
“Given the renowned success of the North American rollout, IceWarp’s global momentum is destined to accelerate,” said Chris Knott, IceWarp’s VP of Support Operations. “Our customers tell us they haven’t seen a product that delivers the communication power and level of integration that IceWarp provides.”
In large part, the success of Version 10 is due to powerful new collaboration and mobility features, including the official support of Exchange ActiveSync – which is enhanced by IceWarp SmartSync, a technology that provides a more fluid mobile experience.
Through a combination of carrier-grade stability and enterprise-grade features, Version 10 requires near-zero configuration. Since this greatly reduces deployment obstacles, IceWarp's support team has been focusing much more on advanced business solutions, allowing administrators to realize the full potential of true unified communications.
“Version 10 is a paradigm shift in communication technology, setting a new standard in integration,” said Christopher Grady, CEO of IceWarp, Inc. “It delivers advanced communication, collaboration, security and mobility in a single unified solution, while introducing groundbreaking features, such as IceWarp SmartAttach – a new method of securely handling large file attachments.”
IceWarp now offers its customers Flex-Licensing, an innovative price structure that promotes unprecedented granularity in software licensing. Version 10’s remarkable scalability and rich feature set make it the ideal solution for enterprises and hosting providers, while the affordability that Flex-Licensing introduces ensures that true unified communications can be made available to the small business market for the first time.
About IceWarp – For over a decade, IceWarp has focused on unifying communications for every business class, size and niche. The release of Version 10 advances the threshold.
IceWarp Unified Communications Server is available through a comprehensive global network in over 28 countries, including America, Argentina, Australia, Austria, Brazil, China, Czech Republic, France, Denmark, Germany, Hong Kong, Hungary, India, Italy, Korea, Malaysia, Norway, Poland, Portugal, Russia, Singapore, Spain, Sweden, Switzerland, Taiwan, Thailand, Turkey, United Kingdom
* Deerfield Communications Inc. is the U.S. Authorized National Distribution Agent for IceWarp Unified Communication Server.

When Kerio MailServer first launched, it was centered around email and email security. Today you get a well integrated package with dual antivirus scanning, multi-layer anti-spam, complete archiving, scheduled back-up, and full groupware capabilities.
Most of the innovations you have seen from Kerio in recent years were focused on email-based collaboration, i.e. the introduction of contacts, calendars, notes, and mobility, as shown in their pioneering implementation of push email for smartphones.
Many organizations worldwide chose to build their workflow around Kerio MailServer, which in turn helped their teams become more effective, more productive, and generally better connected.
Now Kerio is entering a new stage, in which they will make Kerio MailServer a great fit for organizations with teams in multiple locations worldwide.
As the product has shifted from being a traditional email server into the area of collaboration, they feel the existing product name no longer accurately represents what the product promises to do. Enter Kerio Connect, previously known as Kerio MailServer.
The new name, Kerio Connect, aims to communicate what users of messaging and collaboration servers often do – they connect with their colleagues, they connect with their business partners, they connect from the road, they connect from home, they connect to develop new ideas, they connect before they meet in person – they simply connect.
This new generation of the Kerio messaging platform is called Kerio Connect 7. It will retain its familiar blue bubble icon with the envelope. You are seeing this new branding within the beta builds, but all versions prior to Connect 7 will remain branded as Kerio MailServer.
Kerio products are supported and distributed online by Deerfield Communications Inc. Kerio Connect 7 Beta is available here.
The new Instant Messaging client in IceWarp's v10 Webmail, or a software messaging client that supports jabber, can automatically populate it's roster by creating a roster.dat file in your domains configuration folder.
Follow these steps to create a shared roster.
1. Locate your domains configuration folder. The default location is in config\your_domain, example
C:\installation_directory\config\your_domain.com\
2. Create a file called roster.dat and save to your domains config folder.
config\your_domain\roster.dat
3. Edit this file and enter [your_domain.com] on a single line, include the brackets, and save the file. Make sure your text editor does not add .txt extension to the file name.
4. Verify that the Instant Message Service is started from System - Services. If it is, restart it to load the new roster.
5. From your Instant Messaging client (Webmail or software client) take it offline and back online and your domain roster will automatically populate.
