+Roundcube Webmail is a browser-based multilingual IMAP client with an
application-like user interface. It provides full functionality you expect
-from an e-mail client, including MIME support, address book, folder manipulation,
-message searching and spell checking. RoundCube Webmail is written in PHP and
-requires the MySQL or Postgres database. The user interface is fully skinnable
-using XHTML and CSS 2.
-
-This project is meant to be a modern webmail solution which is easy to
-install/configure and that runs on a standard PHP plus MySQL or Postgres
-configuration. It includes open-source classes/libraries like PEAR
-(http://pear.php.net) and the IMAP wrapper from IlohaMail
-(http://www.ilohamail.org).

-How it works:
--------------
-The main authority for the RoundCube access is the IMAP server. If
-'auto_create_user' is set to TRUE in config/main.inc.php a new record in the
-user table will be created once the IMAP login succeeded. This user record does
-not store a password, it's just used to assign identities, contacts and cache
-records. If you have 'auto_create_user' set to FALSE only IMAP logins which
-already have a corresponding entry in the user's table (username and hostname)
-will be allowed.
