I'm just curious about the implementation of Roundcube. I couldn't find details on the site.

Does roundcube make use of the mbox files in Linux, or does it simply use IMAP to talk to another process on the server. If it uses mbox files, does it copy to MySQL, even without the user logging in, or does the user have to log in to get the messages to be moved from the MBox file to MySQL?

RoundCube talks to the server via IMAP, just like Thunderbird or
other desktop mail applications. It does not store e-mail in the
database. The database is used to store preferences, not e-mail
messages.

Does that help ?
