Along the same lines, it could always be possible to open the client in a new window, without the address-bar, and back/forward buttons.  Then, you've got just the frame of the browser to deal with, and roundcube itself.  This could be done with a check-box on the front-page.  Thus serving everyones needs.  Those that don't want the back/forward buttons, open in a new window; and those that don't care, open in the same.

Is that an okay compromise?  It would have nothing to do with how the client works, just that the login would open a new window rather than refreshing the old one.  So there wouldn't have to be two branches of the same client.

One thing I've noticed, if I use the RoundCube navigation icons, then all of
the problems with messages appearing not to move, or not being deleted, then
things go smooth and accurate. Also the hourglass notice at the top-center
of the page always displays. However, if I use the forwards/backwards
navigation of my webbrowser (IE at the moment.), then the message list
display does not always update, nor do I get the top-center update display.

Haven't coded HTML or JS in ages, but is there a way to prevent usage of the
browsers navigation shortcuts, and force the use of RC's icons for
navigation? Or perhaps the login screen should have a say something like
"Please use the navigation icons within RoundCube, do not use your browsers
forward or reverse features"?

Layman's guess, but when using the browsers forward/reverse, then the JS
functions do not always trigger, and the browser is caching the main display
page, and not showing a current view. And yes, Cache is set to false, but
would a pragma no-cache prevent the browser from loading a stale page?
