The skin is pretty bland, but it's the ads and clutter that drive me nuts. Still, I guess it's nice that they recognized a great web app. Are they actively developing it Thomas, or just waiting on you? Seeing all the ad revenue they're going to get it would be nice if they could give back.
Their site does not work in Konqueror - I get constant refreshes of the whole page. I do not recall having that effect on the RC demo site.

Speaking of 30gigs.com, I've been asked to help make it scale - hence it's moving into a hub-and-spoke model (partitions for scalability).
I've asked the owners if they are giving back to the roundcube developers, they said that they were, but from the comments here - that might not be true.
Personally, here are my plans
- Move backend system into a hub and spoke model for scalability (Mail
Delivery, and IMAP) - I'll be more than happy to discuss how this is implemented for people wanting to run such a large scale site..
- Modify parts of round cube and make it LDAP aware to support above.
I'll be more than happy to give it back to the roundcube developers.
- Will take a look at the php backend used by roundcube, and will see and
decide if I want to rewrite it in Java and use a distributed-cache / replicated cache (eq. Tangosol Coherence, or for something free and cheap
- the Jboss TreeCache), coupled with a cache-loader, and write back cache
support - will allow it to scale better horizontally. The app IMHO just from looking at itis too DB centric, it's hard to scale a vertical resource.
