Hi I'm new to roundcube (our sysadmin just installed it a few days ago) and i have a few questions (or suggestions? or bug reports?)
- I tried to send a mail with a subject line but no body.
RC didn't send the message but neither did it give a warning. I think it should be possible to send mail without body; or, if there is a reason why this should be impossible, an adequate message should be displayed. (I think this is connected with an issue raised in August 2007: http://lists.roundcube.net/mail-archive/dev/2007-08/0000017.html "Javascript Error when send message without body" The JS Error still occurs!)
- "Show all"
Sometimes it is advantageous to see all messages in a folder at once (e.g. to perfome mass deletions: select all and the klick on the delete icon; or to quickly scan all messages in a folder) Is there a way to this in RC? In Squirrelmail you can toggle between "show all" and "paginate"
- "Compact" and "Empty"
When i open RC, the "Empty" link is not enabled for any folder, not even the Trash folder. Is there some setting which can control this? Or does it have to do with the permissions of folder .Trash on the server?
- Collapsible folders
I have grouped my folders in a hierarchy, i.e. some folders containing other folders. Sometimes it would be cool to be able to collapse a "superfolder" when you're currently not interested in it, and open it again when you need it. Is this possible in RC? I tried klicking on a "superfolder" but that didn't work.
- Delete icon
I think the icon currently used for deletion is a bit misleading because this symbol (circle with a diagonal bar across it) usually denotes something forbidden. I think a simple (red) cross would be clearer.
Thank you in advance for any hints to my questions...

Although some of the developers read this list, if you are really
interested in getting your suggestions into RoundCube, it is best to
search the Trac issue tracking site
http://trac.roundcube.net/search
to see if your suggestions already have tickets, and if not, create
tickets for your suggestions.
http://trac.roundcube.net/wiki/Howto_ReportIssues
It is very easy to post e-mail messages to a list, or post to a
forum, however most open source software developers use issue
tracking software to determine what issue most needs their attention,
and to make sure issues don't get left behind. An e-mail on a list is
sure to be forgotten as new messages pour in. If someone doesn't
spend the effort to place a suggestion ( also sometimes called a RFE,
or Request For Enhancement ) into Trac, then it must not be that
important, eh ?
- "Compact" and "Empty"
When i open RC, the "Empty" link is not enabled for any folder, not even the Trash folder. Is there some setting which can control
this? Or does it have to do with the permissions of folder .Trash on the
server?
This issue was covered on this list earlier.
There is a JavaScript function that keeps users from deleting all of
their mail from any mailbox except the "Trash" and "Junk" mailboxes.
If you don't get a link to empty the "Trash" mailbox, then there is
likely some kind of configuration issue with your install.
I have found that even though there is a way to use different names
for the "standard" mailboxes, that doesn't work that well in
practice. Is it possible you are using a different name for the
"Trash" mailbox ?
Overall, this is a very young project ( not even 0.1 ! ) so there
will be a few rough edges.
