I’ve used Roundcube for years and finally got fed up with it breaking on every update because of the plugin system. Are there better options around?
I’m back to Mail clients. Webmail is a compromise that didn’t work out for me well.
I use Gmail at work because I have to. It’s good for it’s company integration, but privately no thanks.
Same for me. I’m a die-hard Thunderbird fan (it’s ugly but it works lol).
Used to use TB at work until we switched to Google Workspace and they globally disabled IMAP access. Now I’m stuck with webmail and my productivity went to absolute shit.

Have you updated to the new version 115? The UI has had a bit of an overhaul and looks more modern.
I haven’t but I definitely should. Just refreshed my laptop with pop os and have been using the default mail client with it (Geary?). It is really responsive and works well with the tiling plugin.
Yeah, I mostly use Thunderbird and FairEmail but it’s nice to have a backup when I’m in places I can’t use those, or can’t be bothered setting up a new client.
Believe it or not, NextCloud. It actually can work as an email client. And it can sync calendars, contacts and todo list too.
one year ago it was unbearably slow AND it copied hundred of thousands of emails on the database clogging everything, did it drastically improve?
Whelp, nextcloud isn’t known for being fast. I don’t have hundreds of thousands of emails yet so I can’t comment on that, but one thing for sure is as you put more and more data on it, you’ll have to add more CPU and RAM to it or it’ll getting more and more sluggish.
The last few updates to nextcloud and PHP 8 have drastically improved performance for me. I’m not using the Mail app but SnappyMail, and everything works pretty well.
Older versions and PHP < 8 were pretty slow even with all of the optimizations.
I use SnappyMail which is a fork of Rainloop. It works great, has a version available for Nextcloud, AND it has a working sieve editor.
I’ve used either SnappyMail (a fork of RainLoop) or Roundcube.
SnappyMail
why is it better than roundcube?
SoGo
@[email protected] I loved rain loop until I learned they had a vulnerability where a malicious email could compromise the system. IDK if they have fixed it but it was my favorite webmail by far. Nowadays I’m using desktop clients sadly.
I never stated that it was better. It’s just another option.
Roundcube always! I tried others and always went back to Roundcube. If you install it properly (using composer for everything) it won’t break on updates.
I’m using SnappyMail but I’m sadly missing Rainloop
I know it’s a fork, but the new work seems sloppy and badly implemented. Rainloop was a brilliant UX. It’s a shame it’s no longer developed
I finally have my email set up with Thunderbird (and K-9 on my phone) so that I have mail and calendar stuff in one place and don’t use my browser for every old thing. Before that I was a brainwashed Google zombie for quite some years and used only Google webmail. It took so long to get rid of all their stuff.
Crossbox is not bad but for individual usage it’s too expensive, the pricing is for sysadmins with hundreds of users
