Ken, Brian,

Thanks.  Question about Roundcube that I can't figure out
looking at several web pages about it.

Suppose I'm running my own mail and IMAP servers, partially
because it gives me control over a whole collection of privacy
and security issues.  Mulberry works fine to access both those
servers and the accounts on them and IMAP accounts elsewere,
with different accounts for each and multiple folders for most
of them.  I use the distinction between subscribed and
unsubscribed folders to distinguish between ones that are very
active and ones that I need to open only occasionally (I don't
know that I've over 200 on each, but must be close).

I think I understand about a web-based client accessing
web-based servers, but does keeping the present setup require
that I run a web server more or less co-located with the mail
one(s)?  If so, does the configuration to handle both local IMAP
servers and remote ones happen there?   

If it makes a difference, I don't care about the "don't have a
PC to access mail" case and more or less believe that, like the
absence of automatic processing of full HTML in Mulberry, it
gives me some protection against random attacks.

thanks,
   john
