OK, I just installed Roundcube. I must say, it's a pleasing interface.
You are
able to use shift-click and ctl-click on the message list to choose
multiple messages for
deletion - unlike SM where you have to individually click on each
message.
On the other hand, Roundcube is definitely more resource-hungry. It
uses an SQL
database to organize the emails. I had a couple of really big mail
spools - one
was 1.7 gigabytes - and roundcube barfed when I tried to open it.
Also, I have learned never to hit the "refresh" button in roundcube.
The web browser
goes away for a long time, and my server gets bogged down with imapd
processes. The
refresh in SM is much more civilized.
Oh, and Roundcube doesn't have "delete-and-next".
As far as adapting SM to AJAX - doesn't sound too probable to me. AJAX
is a totally different way of doing business. I am starting to use it
in my business software ( a set of LAMP applications ) and I can say
that it's hard to poke at the edges with AJAX and just do a little here
and there. One of the main strengths of SM is the richness of all the
plugins - and I can't but imagine that converting to AJAX would break
all or most of them.
