I'm used to Thunderbird, and there a couple of features in it that would make Roundcube far more useful to me.
I'm a heavy TB user as well. It's my primary client (just check the header of this message).
The first is the split window layout that Thunderbird uses.
My RC 0.3.1 is laid out exactly like my TB: Folder list on the left, message list on top right, and message preview on bottom right.
I normally select the oldest message, and Thunderbird immediately shows that message in another window.
Why do you need the message in another window? Just view what's in the preview pane to decide if it's spam, junk, or legit.
I then just hit Delete
This works for me exactly as you describe it.
or Junk repeatedly to peel through all of the emails. Just one click per email, and I don't have to move the mouse around. I am viewing the subject list the whole time, so I can queue up decisions in my mind as to what is spam, and what needs to be read.
This works exactly the same way in RC 0.3.1.
With Roundcube, I have to double click on a message, then
It's a web application--NOTHING requires a double click.
the whole page is replaced with the message. If I hit Delete, I am sent back to the subject list. It would be much better for me if the next message would simply load in place. Then I could just keep hitting Delete to get through all of my messages. Squirrel mail has a "Delete and Next" link that does this. Right now, I have to go back and forth between the subject list and the message window, reloading the subjects each time I read a message, which can be time consuming.
All of these things are configurable by clicking the "Settings" option in the top right corner. I can think of at least 3 you should have checked that you probably currently do not. Look into the Settings and tweak them to your liking.
