We get questions about 'moving multiple emails to another folder' all the time because people dont understand the state of the web. They're used to geocities or something :) But at least I can explain that, and their answer is usually one of wonder and amazement. Not so much with that button. Pretty much every reply is pretty negative. Im also starting to get quite a few tablet complaints (can you tell I opened larry to our userbase :) Trying to get access to an android tablet to replicate some of the issues. Tablets seem to be a relatively huge percentage of users, for a lot of people they're replacing desktops and they have plenty of horizontal and vertical space to run roundcube. So I think it's important that roundcube works on tablets. I can see phones being a bit less crucial.
