Hi list.

Being new to this community, I wonder if I ask at the right place.

Once a user has logged into the roundcube interface and checked (or send or else) his emails, where are they physically located? in the mysql database or still in the pop/imap server?

Last I checked, roundcube only supported imap, not pop. With imap the users mail is located on the imap server. If roundcube caching is enabled a local copy of mail will be made in the mysql database, this is a duplicate of what is stored at the imap server and exists only for performance reasons when you have a slow imap connection.

If caching is disabled the only copy is on the imap server.
