I want to add my business email which uses Roundcube webmail software to my T-mobile phone, but I need the Port number. Can anyone help me?
Mary Ann
I know that Roundcube is imap, but the set-up on T-Mobile also asks for a port number in addition to imap. I am not a super techie, so I don't know why the port is also needed.

Roundcube is an IMAP client -- some software that can access an IMAP server (where your emails are stored).
The T-mobile app is also an IMAP client, and it will access your IMAP server just /like/ Roundcube does, but it won't connect /to/ Roundcube. It will just go straight to the source, i.e. wherever Roundcube is getting your mails from.
Pictorially,
Roundcube ----------- | -----<---->--- IMAP server (emails are here) | T-Mobile App --------
Long story short: contact the email guy at your company, and ask him for the settings. Roundcube knows them, but they're in a configuration file somewhere that end-users don't have access to.

sorry but this is info you should not get from a maillist that is unpaid :)
imap 143 pop3 110 imaps 993 pop3s 995 smtps 465 smtp 25 submission 587
imaps and pop3s can use ssl / tls as to get this to work, currect settings is comming from you mail provider, not maillist :)
Thanks. That's what I needed to know. Especially the short version -- how to get that port number ;)

RoundCube is a web client to e-mail. It is similar to Mozilla Thunderbird or Microsoft Outlook, except that it runs in your web browser (and parts of it run on the web server which serves it to your web browsers).
The only port numbers used to talk to a RoundCube installation are usually are 80 (HTTP) and 443 (HTTPS), like any web page/application, and these numbers are implicit from the URL that is used.
One of the points of using a web client is that you don't need to know anything about ports for IMAP, SMTP et cetera. You log in to the web interface and there is a web rendering of your inbox and folders, and a way to send mail.
It's like HotMail or Gmail, except it's run by your company! You don't have to configure any port numbers to use Gmail.
The server-side of the RoundCube installation itself knows port numbers. It knows what IMAP server to talk to, and how to send mail over SMTP, plus various other things. These parameters configured by the RoundCube administrator for all of the users of the RoundCube installation.
If your RoundCube installation is outward facing (externally accessible over the Internet), you should be able to use it with your phone's web browser, using a mobile data connection (requiring a mobile data plan from your carrier), or a Wi-Fi connection. If your RoundCube installation is visible only from your company's intranet, you may be able to get in by setting up the VPN on your phone, so that your phone can securely join your internal network and access internal web pages. Your sysadmin can help with that, if it is possible.
For instance, I can get into my personal RoundCube server from my smartphone just by opening a browser and navigating to the page, which is exposed to the Internet, exactly the way someone access their Gmail account.
But, usually I do not. Why? Because on my smartphone it is more efficient to instead run a mail client, in my case the K-9 Mail free application for Android. This connects to my IMAP and SMTP server, bypassing Roundcube. You may be able to set up a mobile e-mail client to access your corporate e-mail server, as an alternative to the RoundCube interface, with the help of your mail administrator. _Note that since Roundcube is not involved in such a setup, it is off topic in the Roundcube user mailing list._

You all may want to try roundcube app on android. Just search roundcube in Google Play.

Where can we find the source code?

Quote from description: "If your webmail interface is not Roundcube, then this application will not work!"
It's some kind of web clipping shim for RC which seems rather uninteresting. Mobile support should be developed in Roundcube itself and deployed in Roundcube instalaltions, so writing hacks like this is a waste of effort for short term gain.
By and large, applications in the Google Play Store are over-rated. I have tried apps that had close to full five star rating by hundreds of users that I nevertheless found to be junk.
So this app's three star rating is a very bad sign, and things take a turn for the worse when we read the reviews, based on which I wouldn't waste time on this.

I agree. It's better to cooperate with the developer to make it better. it is an app. Nobody force you to install it. If you dont like it, dont install it. About the rating, it is based on user ratings. It is not necessarily shows the quality of the app although it can be used to show that it is popular.

GOOD user ratings do not reliably confirm quality. BAD ratings from a sufficiently large number of reviewers do confirm poor quality quite reliably, though.
Negative user feedback is almost never wrong in software, and the astute developer treats it like the word of god.
If someone takes time out of their day to rate your application and write a paragraph or two, you are darn lucky you got that much attention.

horde mimp exists, and horde dimp is the ajax version of imp, both is nice and unstable :)
would anyone waste time on this with roundcube ?
stable design is to make skins selective pr browser, that way mobil support comes nice without to much clotters in php code

+1
All too many of those rating are a bit suspicious, I've seen some apps that hundred of people have give 5 stars fort, and I cant find a way to give a negative 5 score too.

Is there an approach already to create a "mobile" skin?

roundcube core still needs support for selective template skins based on browser, but when roundcube have it, then its possible to make skins lets say for iphone ?
i just not yet have anything of it :=)
horde maked it with selective use of imp/mimp/dimp, roundcube hopefully make it better
users does nothing, its browser based, its like locale selection in eg firefox where apache then shows locale version of webpages that support locales
