Can I add unlimited users in Roundcube?

[gengle1108]

I'm on a shared host, and I want to install Roundcube in my account.

Can I add unlimited users in Roundcube, each one has own limited mail quota, like 10M /per user.

Is it possible?

RoundCube only access email accounts on a imap server, the number of email accounts you can setup is depends on how many accounts your host allows you to setup.

I find that there is a feature here:
About Roundcube webmail
it is:
Unlimited users and messages

what's the "users" meaning? are they just system users in Roundcube?  or email accounts I created on my shared hosting account?

If you have configured Roundcube to connect to your IMAP server only, each user has to have an email account on your IMAP server.

Thanks, Rosali.

I want something like that:
When some visitors sign up on my website(maybe a forum or a blog), they can get new accounts (limited quote, like 10M) with their own email addressed in Roundcube. I can write some scripts to connect to the database of Roundcube.

But it seems that I have to create those accounts for Roundcube manually in my shared hosting panel(cpanel).

Is there any other lucky solutions?

You could use a php script to connect to your cPanel to automatically add the accounts, but keep in mind if anyone can register for a email account your site will most likely have spammers signup to send email through your hosting account witch will cause your web host to suspend your account.

I see,
