About Roundcube

Roundcube is webmail software you install on your own server to give users a browser-based client for an existing IMAP mail server. Its interface behaves like a desktop mail application, with drag-and-drop message handling, threaded message lists, spell checking and a responsive skin for phones and tablets.

It includes a full address book with groups and LDAP connectors, multiple sender identities, shared IMAP folders with access control lists, PGP encryption support and a plug-in API. Security updates are released regularly for both the 1.6 and 1.7 branches.

Strengths

  • Application-like webmail interface for any IMAP server
  • Address book with LDAP connectors
  • Plug-in API and PGP support
  • Frequent security updates

Limitations

  • Requires a PHP web server and an existing mail server
  • Only a webmail front end, not a mail server itself
