Pending Issues / On a particular machine, Round...
Last post by factor3 - Today at 02:36:56 PM
The Roundcube web application displays read and uread emails on most of the computers that I run it on. It also works on both Chrome and Firefox.

Unfortunately, on one computer, Roundcube does not display what is in the inbox. In fact, on this system it appears to display some of the older emails in the inbox that I had deleted months ago!

I cannot predict which computer Roundcube will behave this way on. It happened on one computer where I was running Windows 10, but when I changed its OS to Windows 11, Roundcube behaved normally. Unfortunately, I have just purchased a new laptop that is running Windows 11 -- and Roundcube is displaying the older (previously deleted) emails again.

I have several computers running different operating systems (including Windows 10, Windows 11, Ubuntu Linux, and MacOS. On all of these computers, Roundcube displays the contents of the inbox. It is only on one machine that it is displaying the old deleted emails.

Clicking on "refresh" does not change the display. On all machines, I am logging into the same account on the same email server.

I am running the Roundcube server in a Docker container running on a Ubuntu Linux machine. The version is 1.6.11.

Is there something I can do to cause Roundcube to properly display the contents of the inbox? What is causing Roundcube to display my old deleted emails in its inbox on this one machine???

Quote from: Witzker on May 26, 2023, 05:13:41 AMIs there really no way to get all mails from different accounts in one inbox and also keep them separate in own inboxes as it is e.g. in Mailspring?

Sounds crazy to me and, again, THIS IS NOT A ROUND CUBE ISSUE.

However, sure, there are surely many dozens of different ways to do that, all of which have to do with your MTA / SMTP server scenario.

As you appear to be on a variant of Unix called Linux, you could use the .forward mechanism. Or, you could use a SpamAssassin-like daemon called by your mail server. Or, you could use ProcMail, or...

Once you have the emails into a single mailbox, just create a link (via ln -s) in each user's mailbox subdirectory pointing to the merged mailbox - it should show up "automagically" if your IMAP configuration is set to automatically provide "subscribed folders" (as some systems call 'em.)

Just to clarify one point for accuracy's sake:
Linux is not a variant of Unix. It's a Unix-like operating system that was written from scratch by Linus Torvalds in the early '90s, without using AT&T Unix code. That's why it's not certified as Unix and why it falls into the "Unix-like" or "POSIX-compatible" category rather than being a true Unix derivative (like BSD or AIX).

Calling it "a variant of Unix" is like calling a Tesla a variant of a horse-drawn carriage because they both get you from point A to B.

Hey @strcube,

I understand you may not personally use or need a unified inbox, but it's a very common feature across modern email clients like Outlook, Thunderbird, Apple Mail, Gmail, and many mobile apps.

A unified inbox refers to viewing incoming messages from multiple accounts in a single combined view, without switching between identities or folders. This is useful for:

* People managing personal and work accounts
* Small business owners
* Support staff with shared inboxes
* Anyone juggling multiple aliases or domains

It's not about dumping everyone's mail into a shared box. It's a client-side convenience feature that preserves account boundaries while simplifying visibility.

You're right that Roundcube doesn't natively support this, but that doesn't make it a bad request or a misunderstanding of how email works. It just reflects a user need that's common in many environments.

As for .forward, ProcMail, or SpamAssassin - those are server-side tools and don't address the UI/UX concern the original poster raised.

Hope that helps clarify.

Deutsch / Empty startup greeting, zeitwe...
Last post by macHawk - July 11, 2025, 06:05:46 AM
Hallo,

ich nutze Roundcube seit Jahren und hatte bisher keine Probleme. Die Konfiguration ist seit langem unverändert. Dennoch tauchen seit ca. 1 Woche zeitweise Probleme auf. Mal klappt es für einige Zeit, dann tritt der Fehler auf, dann klappt es wieder. Fehlermeldung im Roundcube error.log:

Login failed for xxx against localhost from 2.52.71.58.
Empty startup greeting (localhost:143) in /var/www/webmail/roundcube/program/lib/Roundcube/rcube_imap.php on line 211 (POST /?_task=mail&_action=refresh)

Ergebnis: Login nicht möglich.

Wie erwähnt: ohne Änderung an der Konfig klappt das Login für eine Mail Adresse mal, dann wieder nicht.

Debian 12 System mit Dovecot und Postfix. Roundcube in der aktuellen Version 1.6.11.

Was kann ich tun?

Thomas

Roundcube Discussion / [Solved] How to change Dashboa...
Last post by PN0 - July 07, 2025, 07:28:30 AM
Hello,


how can I replace the logo in the dashboard (attachment)?

I use Elastic and have filled in the array, but my logo is only displayed on the login page and in the small view in the dashboard, not in the desktop.
from my config.inc.php:
     "elastic:login[small]" => "/images/logo_big.png",
     "elastic:login" => "/images/logo_big.png",
     "elastic:*[small]" => "/images/logo_small.png",
     "[print]" => "/images/logo_print.png",
What have I done wrong?

Edit: sovled, i misread the config

Best regards,
PN0

General Discussion / quoted text
Last post by tracy55 - July 06, 2025, 04:21:28 AM
In all my emails, which are mostly long messages, I need to reply sentence by sentence or paragraph by paragraph to someone's message, alternating the quoted text with my own responses that aren't part of the quoted area.

I simply can't figure out how to do that with Roundcube. I can't find any paste as quotation, nor can I find a way to interrupt the sender's quoted message to respond in a way that's very separate from the quoted material. I need to do that at least 10 times a day.

For awhile, I simply added quotation marks around the quoted paragraph, skipped several spaces, and wrote my own response, but it was still in Roundcube's quoted area. Then I started having to color all the quoted sentences I was replying to, but still my response was in the main quoted area.

This is so simple in other email programs.......But I use Roundcube for my business email and online writing courses, and this is just too unwieldy.

How can one end the quoted text, insert a response, and then start the quoted text again?

API Based Plugins / Shared CalDAV calendar is read...
Last post by samuelolavo - July 02, 2025, 12:12:04 PM
Hi,

I'm currently using Radicale v3 as my CalDAV server and I have configured shared calendars using LDAP groups for access control.

In my setup, users who belong to a specific LDAP group (example-group) have read/write permissions to a shared calendar. Everything works fine when accessing the calendar from external clients like Thunderbird — users can create, edit, and delete events as expected.

However, when accessing the same calendar using Roundcube with the Calendar plugin ([1] https://git.kolab.org/diffusion/RPK/), the shared calendar shows up correctly, but it is read-only — users are unable to add or edit events.

From the Radicale logs, I can confirm that:

The user is authenticated via LDAP

The user has RW permissions on the collection

Roundcube successfully connects to the calendar and fetches the data

No permission errors are logged on the server side

Is there any known issue with group-based shared calendars or something else I might be missing in the plugin configuration?

Thanks in advance for your help.

Best regards,
Samuel
