Comments on How to Install Latest RoundCube Webmail on Ubuntu 18.04 LTS

Just to let you know that in the sudo "apt-get install....." command, there is a typo. You should say "apache2" instead of "apache". Thank You, have a nice day :-)

You were missing the part where the config.inc.php file must be configured. 

$ cd /var/www/html/toundcube/config

$ cp config.inc.php.sample config.inc.php

$ vi config.inc.php

modify the line starting with "$config['db_dsnw'] = " to update with the appropriate password.  

That's not missing, the databases settings are configured with the web installer in this tutorial, no need for manual copy and edit of the config file.

Parabéns pelo tutorial.

Obrigado.

My server is up and running, I have already website created - is it safe to follow this tutorial to get mail server? I mean especially if it won't screw up the database in any way. 

Thank you 

Hi, in the roundcube.conf file I had to add "roundcube." to make it generate the certificate:

And after generation, it alse gave me the second one with the -0001 suffix:

/etc/letsencrypt/live/roundcube.example.com-0001/fullchain.pem (success)

What is that? Should I ignore it?

I assume this is just a client for accessing mail from a server like Postfix, right?

You assume correctly that this is 'just a client'.

Thanks for the awesome walk-through!   Worked like a charm for me!

I was intrigued why you chose to pre-fill the IMAP host with ssl://imap.gmail.com (as well as the SMTP host with ssl://smtp.gmail.com)... granted, this tutorial is just for configuring Roundcube and not necessarily having a local MUA + MTA. I wonder, though, what's the point in storing email locally that actually comes from Google? (If some organisation already has Gmail accounts, they can use Google's own interface instead, which is more powerful than Roundcube's...)

I can only think of a few reasons for doing that — adding the very few extra features that Roundcube has but Gmail doesn't, such as requesting a delivery notification; or possibly adding a plugin that automatically encrypts one's emails so that Google cannot profile them. IMHO, these would be the few use-case scenarios where it actually would make sense to use Roundcube instead...

Please where do i find my password if my email is [email protected] please where is the password found
