Roundcube is a web-based, open-source email front end. It offers a modern, easy-to-use interface for IMAP and SMTP servers and makes email communication possible directly in the browser, without depending on external services.
What sets Roundcube apart:
Ease of use: an intuitive interface that can replace classic email clients.
Security: can be run entirely on your own infrastructure, with TLS/SSL encryption and two-factor authentication.
Extensibility: plugins and skins for calendars, contacts, spam filters, signatures or S/MIME encryption.
Openness: supports standard protocols (IMAP, SMTP, CardDAV) and combines with existing mail servers such as Dovecot or Postfix.
Data sovereignty: no data shared with third parties, full control over content and access.
This makes Roundcube an ideal solution for organizations that want modern webmail functionality without giving up privacy and self-hosting.
Our experience with Roundcube in client projects
We use Roundcube internally as web-based access to our email. Besides reading and writing email, we also use it to configure email filters, out-of-office notices and other individual settings. Years of use mean we know the system’s functionality, advantages and customization options in detail. Roundcube gives us and our clients a stable, secure and easily accessible webmail client for daily use.
Understanding the strengths and mastering the challenges
Over the years we have used different mail servers, while Roundcube has remained a constant and reliable solution. We have comprehensive experience integrating Roundcube with various mail servers and are well versed in connecting single sign-on and central authentication methods. Roundcube stands out for its extensibility, its intuitive user interface and the ability to implement user customizations efficiently. Challenges lie mainly in secure integration into existing IT environments and coordination with other system components, which our experience lets us handle reliably.
