Hello,
We've been offering Roundcube to everyone at the University of Michigan
for a bit over a year.
Number of users (max): 70,013
This is the number of preference sets in the database. We have
more IMAP accounts, but they have not yet chosen to visit our Roundcube
install.
Average of concurrent users: 500 to 2000
The number is highly variable based on time of day and our
academic calendar.
A snapshot from this morning shows:
Active in the last hour: 2715
Active in the last 5 minutes: 1879
Active in the last minute: 1096
(we've got a plugin which gives stats like these that we're
still preparing to share)
Number of hosts serving Roundcube: 19
We are using round-robin DNS. These machines are separate from
our IMAP servers and serve Horde/IMP also.
Database backend software: MySQL 5
IMAP backend software: Cyrus and ImapProxy
We use a proxy with unlimited credentials to allow authentication
to be performed by CoSign (http://weblogin.org/)
Other webmail software which is offered as alternative:
We continue to run Horde/IMP mail as we have for many years. Our
Horde/IMP install has more regular users than our Roundcube. We
differentiate our offerings by saying Roundcube is our modern,
easy-to-use webmail and Horde/IMP is our feature-rich webmail. There
are no plans to stop offering IMP.
Some interesting, un-shared modifications have been:
* All folder searching and a new search interface
* A checkbox column
* Horde Addressbook read/write
* Non-scrolling column headers
* A new skin (still working to make it 3.1 compatible)
* Forwarding full headers
* Forced client refresh on upgrade
* CoSign authentication
We're working on sharing these changes and more. We've had between 2
and 5 developers working on RC part time for the last year.
We would be happy to share more about our experiences with Roundcube if
it would be helpful to anyone. If you couldn't tell from this message,
I could go on for hours :)
Thanks to everyone making Roundcube for all your hard work!
Regards,
Ziba
