Heya!
I implemented this by making some small changes to roundcubemail/program/include/rcmail.php to load a separate
timezones.inc file from the language's localization directory.
Assuming that someone that uses a specific language is physically
located in a specific timezone is not a good idea.
It is expedient, and may be a good assumption in a majority of cases.
Still not a good choice that can't be easily overridden.
For specific examples -
Military personnel deployed overseas. Foreign travel. Expatriates. People working in a country not of their origin.
Anyone that wants to use their native language which is not the local
language.
Or anyone that chooses to use a different locale than the local one,
even if it simply to learn a different language or keep a second
language fresh.
I know it was suggested that the Fedora Linux distro make the above
assumption for desktop setup, and the push-back was . . . interesting.
