Roundcube

Overall Opinion: What a piece of useless junk. It doesn't automatically remember and prompt you with previously used e-mail addresses. Every time it saves a (long )mail that you are writing, it creates a new document, so if, as I have just been doing, you have a complicated text that you keep revising and coming back to, you end up with six or seven sequential versions saved whereas I would prefer the revised versions to be overwritten.

Pros: -

Cons: -

Overall Opinion: Cannot configure RC on Debian Stretch/MariaDB/Apache. Been configuring and using roundcubeearlier on earlier Debian/MySQL and also on Ubuntu. After long and fruitless configurations with webinstaller and without, different sources, reading useless hints I am switching to something else. Anything else, actually.

Pros: -

Cons: -

Overall Opinion: As more aspects of our business and personal lives concentrate on browser-based web processes, the use of distinct software to handle our email management can seem antiquated. Services like Hotmail and Gmail allow email hosting, but they don't provide the depth and versatility that you'll find in more professional email client suites. Roundcube takes all the features and security you could hope for from a traditional email client and offers them in a web based interface that you can run directly through your favorite browser. And since Roundcube can be accessed anywhere you have internet access, you aren't tethered to your local machine when you want to check up on your email's inbox or send out responses. The first thing you'll notice when you start up Roundcube is how simply designed it is and how closely it resembles common email clients like Thunderbird. A panel on the left keeps track of all of your myriad folders, while the body panel on the right gives you a full list of your messages for each folder you choose. Standard options like the ability to configure your account, send replies, or compose your messages from scratch are displayed above this panel via simple and easily understandable icons. It's all pretty par for the course, and while it's nicely designed, the font and icon design feels a little bit dated. Regardless of how it looks, and despite a lack of exciting new UI features, it gets the job done handily. If the client design is a bit bog standard, the feature set makes up for it. Within your user control panel you can create folders and assign characteristics for them and also create unique identities, a useful feature for when you want to use different branding for different clients or friends and family members. Roundcube supports rich text and HTML formatting for both sending and receiving messages, and they contain all the requisite security features to protect you from threats, such as prompting you before downloading images from a remote site. The HTML editing tools are split up into the same standard icons that anyone who's used a word processor in the past decade will recognize. One of the handier features is the fact that attachments are handled in a separate task bar that runs alongside the composition pane, so you can easily see what attachments you've added with a single glance. It's a small but helpful feature when you need to send a lot of files in a single email. Business users can make great use out of the email templates, which allow you to plug and play common responses and simply adjust as needed. The contact list allows you to store a lot of information for each client, while the inclusion of an autocomplete tool in the search bar simplifies the process of tracking down contacts from your list.

Pros: Clean interface makes it easy to find what you need even on your first visit Web-based design lets you access your email wherever you happen to be Completely free to use

Cons: Only one account available per user User interface design looks dated
