After the 0.3 release ;). The only information I have is the roadmap (http://trac.roundcube.net/roadmap). No estimated dates yet

Quotewill require mysql 5 or can work on 4 aswell ?

Can't tell. I'm not a developer. But it will probably support MySQL 4, considering what is done in the database right now. But these are just my 2 cents.

Would this be the same issue as wanting a distribution list.  I have a website and send out emails to a number of people for a newsletter.  Rather than typing all the names each time I was hoping there was a way to save them
Thanks

This is more a server thing. Distribution lists can be setup using mailman (http://www.gnu.org/software/mailman/index.html) or majordomo (http://www.greatcircle.com/majordomo/).

This would be an awesome feature and I have many customers asking for it.  

Lists like mailman and majordomo are way too complex for the average user and very old technology.    

Most of my customers just have small lists like 3-20 people that they send to from time to time.  Like all the employees in their department or, their family or other group.

It would be nice if a list of addresses could be saved in an address book record or a list of address book records.   That way one could use autofill and type in something like family  or coworkers and it would autofill the distribution list and make it real easy.

You can send an email to a group of people in the address book just type in the name of the contact group.

Yes, this is exactly what I was looking for and it works great.  Thanks.
