Adam, for whats its worth, this is a mailbox and my client accepted to use it considering the webmail interface is works well with IE. In case of password changes, then they will use chrome or Firefox.
I am still hopeful there is a small path to take and satisfy a client who would like to maintain the IE and work with Zentyal in User Corner. In a practical end user support, this scenario is real and I had it this morning. Jemba E. S.
