I would say that for one, the "About" box found above the big roundcube

fools any non-tech-savvy person into thinking that roundcube is a mail 
service.

This "About" box contains a big welcoming greeting from the roundcube 
dev team and how great this software is. It's like saying this service 
is the best and invite anyone but admins and devs to look for support 
from the roundcube dev team.

Most users do not have a clue what open source means or the difference 
between software/services or how the mail system works. I'm not even 
sure all the admins who install roundcube always know what they are 
doing. For most people the "Internet" is still just that old IE or globe 
icon found on their desktop...

A better approach would be to stop these users in their tracks by 
including something like the instructive warning box found on 
http://roundcube.net/support.

It's should also be possible to easily include and configure a custom 
support message and email in the "About" box. By default this email 
could point to something like support@<user_login_domain>.

Maybe this custom support address and message should be a mandatory 
configuration option before roundcube even starts. Or at least make it 
pretty obvious for anyone looking at that About box that there is no 
support option configured yet.

We already have a box on our support page: http://roundcube.net/supportBut we're open for suggestions how to make this more clear for non-tech-savvy people. ~Thomas

How to get old emails back on this account as missing
why do people not realize that roundcue is a ordinaly WEBMAIL which does not mroe and not less than act as IMAP-client like any other mailprigram does? if you are missing mails for whatever reasons contact your serveradmin and hope he has a backup and enough time to try restore for you _______________________________________________ Roundcube Users mailing list users@lists.roundcube.net http://lists.roundcube.net/mailman/listinfo/users
