You know, just to give a light spin to this thread, I've been using roundcube as the primary mail client for about a month. there have been strange errors, but none of them seem to be reproducible (and none that a bit of tweaking haven't solved), so i would say that it's pretty damn stable, for an alpha.
Kudos to everyone.
Let me second this, I've been running no for about 3 weeks, and yeah, I've seen funny stuff, but I've been able to figure it out; either by myself or via this mailing list. What things RC lacks I've found workarounds for, or I just accept it since it's an early project that is still my top choice over the other web mail clients I have installed on this server, that my other users are still using. So the session times out too much, I changed session variable from 10 to 360 and it's no longer an issue. There's no signature, I've added it to the footer variable and now I have one. There are no filters, I've rebuilt all my procmail fitlers and they work perfectly, heck it was even fun for me to go back and learn procmailrc syntax after not using it for 2 years. Should we expect 'Joe End User' to do all this hacking to have a web mail client? No, that's why this is Alpha software. Personally I love the functionality RC provides and would rather see work done on the code so it's up to everyone's approval (I don't have a problem with it, especially since it's such a new project, but...) and then work on features.
Head trauma victim? More like a newborn that can already walk! ;)

BTW, while I'm on this topic, since roundcube doesn't have a way to change the password, and I'm running Mac OS X.4 Server to boot, there's a really handy webapp for this that's also on Sourceforge at: http://sourceforge.net/projects/osxpass that i've integrated into the login template for the default skin. Anyone else running the same setup, and I can post the snippet of code for the template to integrate the two.
