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.

Quote from: SKaero on June 22, 2026, 02:26:18 PMThe Roundcube docker image supports SQLite

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.

Roundcube is open source webmail software. Your email provider is using it to provide webmail. They are the ones actually running the application. As a user you need to contact them because they will know the details of their particular setup and will have access to logs and things like that. Typically its the same as your webhost or the people you are paying for your domain name.

I am unsure what you mean. I use roundcube for my work business emails i thought the webmail / roundcube were as one i am not using hotmail or anything like that

Hi,

I recently had a need to re-install hMailServer, and restore the configuration. That all seems to have worked ok.

I can log into existing hMailServer accounts from Roundcube (v1.6.15) without any issues. hMailServer log:

Any ideas???

Edit: Ahh. Here's the clue I needed. This is from the Roundcube error log, which is where I should have started. d'oh:

[17-Jun-2026 14:38:11 +0000]: <287gkoap> PHP Error: Access denied for new user [email protected]. 'auto_create_user' is disabled in /var/www/html/webmail/program/include/rcmail.php on line 824 (POST /?_task=login&_action=login)
Found the key in config.inc.php and changed it from false to true:

// Automatically register user in Roundcube database on successful (IMAP) logon.
// Set to false if only registered users should be allowed to the webmail.
// Note: If disabled you have to create records in Roundcube users table by yourself.
// Note: Roundcube does not manage/create users on a mail server.
$config['auto_create_user'] = true;
...and we're back in action. No idea when this got changed!

Thanks
Ken.
