RoundCube Webmail is a browser-based multilingual IMAP client with an application-like user interface. It provides full functionality you expect from an e-mail client, including MIME support, address book, folder manipulation, message searching and spell checking. RoundCube Webmail is written in PHP and requires a MySQL or Postgres database. The user interface is fully skinnable using XHTML and CSS 2.

Installation
Download the source for Roundcube:

cd /extra/src
mkdir -p /var/websites/mail/htdocs /var/websites/mail/logs
wget https://downloads.sourceforge.net/project/roundcubemail/roundcubemail/1.1.3/roundcubemail-1.1.3-complete.tar.gz
tar zxf roundcubemail-1.1.3-complete.tar.gz
mv roundcubemail-1.1.3 /var/websites/mail/htdocs/roundcube
chown -R nobody:nobody /var/websites/mail/htdocs/roundcube

Create the MySQL database:

/usr/local/mysql/bin/mysql -u root -p
CREATE DATABASE roundcubemail /*!40101 CHARACTER SET utf8 COLLATE utf8_general_ci */;
GRANT ALL PRIVILEGES ON roundcubemail.* TO username@localhost IDENTIFIED BY 'password';
FLUSH PRIVILEGES;

Import the table layout:

cd /var/websites/mail/htdocs/roundcube
/usr/local/mysql/bin/mysql -u root -p roundcubemail < SQL/mysql.initial.sql

Point your web browser at http://example.com/roundcube/installer/.

Set the username_domain to your default domain so that the user's Roundcube preferences will be the same whether they login with their full email address or just the username portion.

Once you've used the installer to create main.inc.php and db.inc.php, save them in /var/websites/mail/htdocs/roundcube/config
After completing the installation and the final tests please remove the whole installer folder from the document root of the webserver.

rm -rf /var/websites/mail/htdocs/roundcube/installer

To make sure that the SSL redirection from your Apache config file is applied to Roundcube, edit /var/websites/mail/htdocs/roundcube/.htaccess and edit the mod_rewrite section to include:

RewriteOptions inherit
