Message Threading for RoundCube Webmail
I’ve been planning on moving my e-mail from Google Mail to my new PC router so I’ve been looking for a web mail solution that supports similar features to Google Mail. I chose RoundCube WebMail because it has a clean user interface and, like Google Mail, it uses AJAX, which make it more responsive. I’ve used my fair share of Web 1.0 web mail clients in the past and don’t really want to go there again.
One of the must-have features for any e-mail client that I use is threading since I am subscribed to a number of mailing lists and get a high volume of e-mails each day. Unfortunately RoundCube doesn’t have this feature and when I looked at the road map I could see it wasn’t scheduled for the near future.
So I decided to bite the bullet and work on adding message threading to RoundCube myself.
See my progress so far
I’m in total agreement. I also just recently decided to leave Gmail, even though I think the interface is amazing in so many ways, especially with some of the new features that were just rolled out, but I’m tired of having all my eggs in one basket with Google. I flipped the switch a day ago, and my email no longer goes to Google.
I looked around at the various free software webmail clients available and settled on RoundCube. My experience with RoundCube so far has been good, but like you, I’m on a number of fairly high-volume mail lists and not having threading is a killer.
I was also thinking of attempting to tackle a threading implementation on my own and then was really pleased to find that you had just released this. Thanks!
