Option of Local Folders

[ajvprasad]

I have installed and configured roundcubemail in a linux box (Centos 8 stream) and working fine connecting to a corporate IMAP/SMTP server.
As corporate mailbox size is limited, I want to move mails to local folders just like MS Outlook. Is there any way in roundcubemail to achieve this ?  Export option does not serve the purpose as it is to be imported again to some system for reading.

No Roundcube doesn't have a local mail storage system.

Thank You. Roundcubemail is already using storage on local machine ( I mean on webmail server ), so there is a chance to write a plugin for my purpose. I need some tutorial on writing plugin.

A plugin could be written to do that but it wouldn't be easy since Roundcube user system is tied to login to a IMAP server and the setup to get a list of emails is only setup currently to pull using IMAP and not done directly from a file on the server.

Thank You. I thought of the stack  fetchmail -> postfix -> dovecot -> roundcubemail on my box will do the job but is it a bulkier solution ?

That is a bulkier solution but is likely easier in the long since all mail would be on your local system and Roundcube can talk to the IMAP server like normal.

An interesting thread... my problem is very similar.

I have been a "happy" user of Thunderbird for 12 years and Eudora for the previous 18. I have quite bit of e-mail in my mail system (now about 40GB) that I don't want to part company with.
TB has had some serious problems (screen freezing for 30 seconds every time you resize a window or change column width; latest version seems to go into hyperspace for 10 seconds or more when doing anything useful) that I am close to being done with TB. But when I shifted from Eudora (on Win XP (!)) to TB I had pain via Evolution and other attempted packages taking me to TB. I don't fancy doing a new export/import process on 40GB. I use POP3 / IMAP / SMTP essentially with local mailbox storage.

So the thought came to mind "Can I do something with RoundCube to be a reader for the TB files system (using the same mailbox files but that's all)?"

Ideas?
Interest?

Thanks
