Hi everybody,
Just wanted to forward a mail I've got yesterday and would like to hear your opinions about this topic. Either this could make RoundCube grow faster or atmail just wants to get rid of some (more and more serious) competition.
Don't panic, I didn't decide anything yet and I don't want to get rich anyway :-)

Obviously they see RC as a superior product that can endanger their commercial product sales. IMHO, they want to easily upgrade their product to the modern technologies and eliminate a competitor.
I can recall several successful OpenSource products that were bought out in what appeared at first a beneficial merger and are now collecting dust somewhere on the shelf.
Just my 2 cents in, Best regards, Vahan
