Is it possible, or will there be some problem with the mysql

database for running testing instances against. Any project, not just
RC.That's a good idea ! But what will happen if after having tested with my account I want to use the "old version" again ?
In fact I should ask : "What is stored in the RC mysql database" ? Because all data should be on the IMAP server, isn't it ?
Thanks a lot for your help :-)

In a testing environment, it is commonly understood that you have a separate slice of the sets of components what you want to test.
in this example, you are testing a new version of roundcube, hosted on a separate port(or directory) of apache (or on a separate machine), a separate database instance in mysql. The imap backend stays the same, so you don't replicate that.
Since roundcube (on the user end) is similar to a mail client, it only stores an address book for users that use roundcubes address book, and possibly other user preferences. Since it does not store mail, once you are done testing, simply delete the web hosted instance, delete the database you made for the test, and clean up any links or user knowledge of the testing envorinoment. And have a nice day!
