What Hacker News says
13 sourcesI thought the problem with Roundcube-next was it wasn't run by the roundcube org but separate devs from Kolab? They just made the mistake of endorsing the project
Edit: Yep that's the official position as per this post on the roundcube github https://github.com/roundcube/roundcubemail/issues/6030#issue...
In Roundcube open-source webmail software merges with NextcloudThe GitHub issue talking about this [1] is such a mess too. Maintainers closing the question with a vague non-answer, deleting comments left and right, etc. Sounds like someone stole the money and everyone is either complicit or too embarrassed to admit that it happened.

In Roundcube open-source webmail software merges with NextcloudAsk HN: Self Hosted Webmail Client
I am looking to self host emails for a small non profit organization. MX plans are cheap when buying a domain name but come with poor webmail like Roundcube[0] which really feels outdated when compared with Gmail or Fastmail. I am looking to self host a full featured modern webmail client but can’t find any. Why ?
Soho[1] is the best I have found and supported by Gandi[2].

In The open calendar, task and note space is a messI imagine this comes down to personal preference a lot, but I strongly prefer Roundcube over Gmail. They have improved a lot over the past years, if you have some preconceptions. After 10y+ on Gmail I finally feel like I am getting a grasp over my own email.
But then I also very much prefer a hierarchical/directory tree approach to organizing e-mail than labels&search as Gmail does it.
More similar UX-philosophy can be found in Mailpile[1] and Cypht[2]. Both still have decent amount of moving parts but are continuously progressing.
