Hi Tobiah,
Hey list
I slightly remember that a question similar to this has already been
discussed in the list.
I also remember that most users were against this, and I personally agreed
with that for several reasons:
a) Unwanted read message: If you hit delete when opened an e-mail and the
next or previous e-mail is shown, you may have wanted to read that
particular e-mail later but it will now appear as unread. You have to
manually set it as unread again back in the Inbox overview.
b) Security/Anti-Spam: What if the next/previous e-mail is a spam e-mail or
worse contains a virus? Roundcube has the possibility to block external
content (like images, scripts, and so on) but it is also possible that a
virus was received from a mail address being part in your address book.
Depending on the setting, this e-mail will be fully shown, including
external contents.
c) Overview: Now this one is more a personal question. Many people like it
to go back to overview before opening a new e-mail. You're slower treating
your mails like this, but you have more overview.
Although you see that I'm FOR keeping it the way it actually is, I agree
that a switch in the configuration file would be a good idea. This switch
could define the standard behavior when having opened an e-mail (either go
back to Inbox/Folder view or load next mail).

I'm used to Thunderbird, and there a couple of features in it
that would make Roundcube far more useful to me.
The first is the split window layout that Thunderbird uses.
I normally select the oldest message, and Thunderbird immediately
shows that message in another window. I then just hit Delete
or Junk repeatedly to peel through all of the emails. Just one
click per email, and I don't have to move the mouse around. I
am viewing the subject list the whole time, so I can queue up
decisions in my mind as to what is spam, and what needs to be
read.
With Roundcube, I have to double click on a message, then
the whole page is replaced with the message. If I hit
Delete, I am sent back to the subject list. It would be
much better for me if the next message would simply load
in place. Then I could just keep hitting Delete to get
through all of my messages. Squirrel mail has a
Delete and Next link that does this. Right now, I
have to go back and forth between the subject list and
the message window, reloading the subjects each time I
read a message, which can be time consuming.
Anyway, great job on Roundcube. It's an impressive webmail
client.
Thanks,
Tobiah
