I would say that for one, the "About" box found above the big roundcube
logo at the top left corner on any vanilla install of roundcube easily
fools any non-tech-savvy person into thinking that roundcube is a mail
service.
This "About" box contains a big welcoming greeting from the roundcube
dev team and how great this software is. It's like saying this service
is the best and invite anyone but admins and devs to look for support
from the roundcube dev team.
Most users do not have a clue what open source means or the difference
between software/services or how the mail system works. I'm not even
sure all the admins who install roundcube always know what they are
doing. For most people the "Internet" is still just that old IE or globe
icon found on their desktop...
A better approach would be to stop these users in their tracks by
including something like the instructive warning box found on
http://roundcube.net/support.
It's should also be possible to easily include and configure a custom
support message and email in the "About" box. By default this email
could point to something like support@<user_login_domain>.
Maybe this custom support address and message should be a mandatory
configuration option before roundcube even starts. Or at least make it
pretty obvious for anyone looking at that About box that there is no
support option configured yet.

Maybe it should be specified better on the website ?
We already have a box on our support page:
http://roundcube.net/support
But we're open for suggestions how to make this more clear for
non-tech-savvy people.

How to get old emails back on this account as missing
why do people not realize that roundcue is a ordinaly WEBMAIL
which does not mroe and not less than act as IMAP-client
like any other mailprigram does?
if you are missing mails for whatever reasons contact your
serveradmin and hope he has a backup and enough time
to try restore for you
