[RCD] Roundcube iPhone app urgently needed

[Adventurer]

PLEASE MAKE ROUNDCUBE iPHONE MOBILE APP ASAP



Critically important because the workarounds are bad:

1. setting POP/IMAP/SMTP servers on cell phones is storage + security
risk for many users



2. using forwarders to read email on a secondary mobile-webmail app
(e.g. gmail app) is security concern + sometimes the forwarding fails



3. buying g-suite or other expensive service is prohibitively
expensive



Please escalate this feedback to your developers, extremely important to
many Roundcube users



Many Thanks!

Jed

Roundcube, when integrated on host website is not mobile-friendly on ANY

but every smartphone has a native mail application and on Anroid you can
even chose between a dozen of them - what's the point of a webmail on
such a device at all?

[Vladimir Gorpenko]

Oh, I have remembered.

It is Shift-Control-M and works under FireFox. Under Chrome the same
combination of buttons does absolutely another. By the way, it is good
to read comments of developers on this subject.

Though it, of course, can be feature of Firefox, and I am not sure that
in this option it is convenient to work with RC, but the application
from Play Market is really efficient.

It's a Firefox feature which toggles Responsive Design view (or Mobile
view if you like). Basically, it's a tool that lets web developers test
their creations on desktop, as if they were using them on a mobile
phone. It's not Roundcube-specific, and works with any website, and if
that website is not "responsive", you'll get crappy interface.

Chrome has this feature as well: you can press F12, and then in the
developer toolbar click the "Toggle device toolbar" icon on the left (it
shows something like a smartphone above a rectangle which represents a
tablet).

Cheers,

Rimas

Hi.

Thanks for information.

In addition on a subject: it seems to me, I saw that someone sells skins
for RC adapted for the smartphone. I didn't check this information and
didn't see those skins. However it can be a solution too.

Hi!

1. There is an application RoundCube for Android (presents in Play
Market), which is a client of RC and makes web interface acceptable for
the smartphone.

2. Once I unintentionally clicked some key combination when worked with
RC 1.1.4 (under Firefox) and the interface suddenly became suitable for
the smartphone. Moreover, it was possible to select model from big list.
I do not remember what it were a buttons. ((
I strongly was surprised and since then I want to learn in more detail
about this opportunity, but wasn't going to ask about it.

I highly recommend you to see this free app for Android, I'm using it every day and it's fantastic, for far the best idea I found in the last years:

The responses so far seem either irrelevant or insulting. Again, asking for
iOS Roundcube-app or mobile-friendly Roundcube-login-website to access mail
stored on one's host server
(because all hosts I've seen lack mobile-friendly email interface for
Roundcube)

Again, setting POP/IMAP/SMTP servers on cell phones is storage + security
risk for many users. Obviously webmail useful for phones, e.g. this why
Gmail-app exists for iOS!

I tend to disagree with your assessment about some-provider-specific
email apps being more secure than generic ones.

However, as far as I know, a mobile-friendly Roundcube skin is already
in progress, you can find it at
https://github.com/roundcube/elastic/commits/master. There was an email
thread about it on this list this January, you can read it at
http://lists.roundcube.net/pipermail/dev/2017-January/thread.html (it's
the second thread from top). Looking at commit history, it seems that
Alec is still alone in this endeavor, so if you really care and have the
knowledge necessary, I guess you're welcome to contribute.

Cheers,

Rimas
