Roundcube is a web-based IMAP email client. It makes extensive use of Ajax technology. Roundcube is licensed under the GNU GPL version 3 or later, with exceptions for skins and plugins.




History


After about two years of development the first stable release of Roundcube was announced in early 2008.
On 3 May 2015, Roundcube announced, in partnership with Kolab Systems AG, that they planned to completely rewrite Roundcube and create Roundcube Next. A crowdfunding campaign was set up to finance the project. The goal of $80,000 was reached on June 24. The final amount raised was US$103,541. Roundcube Next was intended to include additional features like calendar, chat and file management. This was to be implemented using WebRTC and connectors from popular services like Dropbox and OwnCloud. However, Kolab Systems and Roundcube stopped development on the project in 2016, with no information or refunds provided to project backers, leading to a failed crowdfund. A Roundcube developer later claimed Roundcube had no ownership over the Roundcube Next campaign, despite its public engagement and ownership on the crowdfund page.
In 2023, a pro-Russia hacking group Winter Vivern exploited a cross-site scripting vulnerability to attack European government entities and a think tank, as reported by researchers from ESET. After opening a malicious email, the exploit could access folders and emails in that user's account and send those emails to the attackers' servers.
In November 2023, the open-source file hosting software suite Nextcloud announced its partnership with Roundcube.




Technology


Roundcube is written in PHP and can be employed in conjunction with a LAMP stack, or any other operating systems that support PHP are supported as well. The web server needs access to the IMAP server hosting the email and to an SMTP server to be able to send messages.
Roundcube Webmail is designed to run on standard web servers such as Apache, LiteSpeed, Nginx, Lighttpd, Hiawatha or Cherokee in conjunction with a relational database engine. Supported databases are MySQL, PostgreSQL and SQLite. The user interface is rendered in XHTML and CSS and is fully customizable with skins.
Roundcube incorporates jQuery as part of its distribution, as well as other libraries such as GoogieSpell and TinyMCE.
Roundcube comes included with CPanel as of early 2008.
