Thanks. That's what I needed to know. Especially the short version -- how to get that port number ;)

I know that Roundcube is imap, but the set-up on T-Mobile also asks for a port number in addition to imap. I am not a super techie, so I don't know why the port is also needed.

Roundcube is an IMAP client -- some software that can access an IMAP
server (where your emails are stored).

The T-mobile app is also an IMAP client, and it will access your IMAP
server just /like/ Roundcube does, but it won't connect /to/ Roundcube.
It will just go straight to the source, i.e. wherever Roundcube is
getting your mails from.

Pictorially,

  Roundcube -----------
                      |
                      -----<---->--- IMAP server (emails are here)
                      |
  T-Mobile App --------

Long story short: contact the email guy at your company, and ask him for
the settings. Roundcube knows them, but they're in a configuration file
somewhere that end-users don't have access to.
