Hi there,
Does the roundcube support to set up multiple folders to organise emails? having trouble with them. The emails don`t pop into the set up folder.

First let me be clear that I'm not responsible for the decision to remove Larry from Roundcube. I'm just a long time user and developer who works with Roundcube.

Roundcube is an open source system and every chunk of code takes maintenance just because you don't see changes doesn't mean there aren't things that are changing or being added to the system. Every plugin that is created has to have support for all supported skins that means icons, css, and more importantly testing to make sure everything is working correctly. Since there is a limited amount of time the Roundcube maintainers and developers have they chose to drop support for both the classic and larry skins.

Since Roundcube is open source you always have the option to run your own install of Roundcube and to install the larry skin on top that. The larry skin is still available on GitHub https://github.com/roundcube/larry I have a client that still uses a modified version of the classic skin with the current version of Roundcube today.

Larry was removed from Roundcube 4 years ago so I don't think they will bring back support for it but with open source anyone is welcome to take it and continue to maintain it.

Thank you for your response.

Are you able to elaborate on this response please? I find it odd that I've used Larry for 10 years and there has been no substantial change that I can remember. What's the difficultly in maintaining it? Its merely an interface. And a popular one at that.

Its also very disappointing and makes zero sense to remove the most popular element of the product. I've read countless forums and public comments on this extremely unpopular decision and unfortunately due to the fact that some service providers were continuing to reinstate it through their hosting services and those service providers are progressively deciding not to do this any more, the people who this affects have basically no recourse to do anything about it because the downgrading has been sporadic over a period of time. Not to mention, those who are not on shared hosting can continue to use it no worries. Again this makes no sense and its really unfair because there is currently no other viable options.

Honestly, Larry is worth the fight because Elastic is utterly useless beyond compare.

Larry wasn't depreciated because of a security issue, it was depreciated because it takes effort to maintain multiple skins.

Hello

Totally confer with earlier comments.

Can I please ask what we have to do to get Larry back? Or at least if someone could please provide an explanation about why it has been depreciated (not just "its a security issue")? Its really unfair to do this to users who rely on this skin for efficiency and productivity. Elastic is for those who prefer aesthetic but it does not provide the functionality of Larry.

Im on shared hosting and until the latest update my service provider would reinstate Larry via cPanel. They are not willing to do this anymore. So every day I am waking up to frustration as I check my emails over a morning coffee, knowing its only going to get worse over time, when I really need to use the super effective functions that Larry provides (ie; more efficient UI for search results, ability to delete multiple emails safely and with confidence (we are locked into plans that have space limitations requiring regular time efficient and safe deletion of large amounts of data), seeing the sender/receiver email address/attachment in a single line, multiple results on one screen etc).

Clearly I'm not the only one suffering. But no one is listening.

Please reinstate Larry or at least give us an explanation. Thank you.

SQLite is in the base docker image.

Thanks for replying but does that mean the image has SQLite installed in it or it supports SQLite on the host system?

The Roundcube docker image supports SQLite, its the default option so you shouldn't need to do anything special to use it. For your use case you shouldn't need to worry about keeping the database if its only for historical mail lookup.

People,

I know the Docker image has been around for a while (I have been using RCM for a looong time) but recently I have had to reduce system work and so have outsourced my RCM stuff to a commercial mail mob - also using RCM.  However, for convenient access to archived Maildirs, I still would like to use RCM to occasionally look up stuff on old servers - but in line with trying to reduce some of the work I need to do, it would be very convenient if I could just quickly restore a Docker / Podman image that has everything built-in and ready to go.  Since it would be just a personal thing instead of a mail server for others as well, SQLite3 would be quite adequate instead of PG.

Has anyone thought about packaging up RCM with a DB in an image that is more or less plug-n-play?

Thanks for all the years of work with RCM - it does about 97% of what I want!

Phil.
