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?

The first sentence on the website is:
"Roundcube webmail... ...is a browser-based multilingual IMAP client with an application-like user interface."

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 ?
Yeah, that helps. Thanks chasd, but not to Mark--your answer is pretty much useless. I read the site and searched Google plenty, but it didn't click. That's why I asked.
Thanks, Brad Landis

Good.
One other tidbit - depending on the IMAP server you use, it may store
the mail in mbox files, or in maildir format. If you go poking around
in the directory where the e-mail is stored and expect mbox files and
they aren't there . . .
There is a IMAP server that uses a database as a backend to store e-
mail, but that is separate from RoundCube ( and any other MUA - Mail
User Agent ) entirely.
