Tweaking the Roundcube settings

Personally, I think the default Roundcube settings aren't the best for most end users. I always add this snippet to the end Roundcube config (/etc/roundcube/config.inc.php):

Code:

// ----------------------------------
// USER INTERFACE custom settings
// ----------------------------------
// default messages sort column. Use empty value for default server's sorting,
// or 'arrival', 'date', 'subject', 'from', 'to', 'fromto', 'size', 'cc'
$config['message_sort_col'] = 'date';

// the default locale setting (leave empty for auto-detection)
// RFC1766 formatted language name like en_US, de_DE, de_CH, fr_FR, pt_BR
$config['language'] = 'nl_NL';

// use this format for date display (date or strftime format)
$config['date_format'] = 'd-m-Y';

// use this format for detailed date/time formatting (derived from date_format and time_format)
$config['date_long'] = 'd-m-Y H:i';

// Message size limit. Note that SMTP server(s) may use a different value.
// This limit is verified when user attaches files to a composed message.
// Size in bytes (possible unit suffix: K, M, G)
$config['max_message_size'] = '50M';

// Maximum number of recipients per message (including To, Cc, Bcc).
// Default: 0 (no limit)
$config['max_recipients'] = 30;

// Set identities access level:
// 0 - many identities with possibility to edit all params
// 1 - many identities with possibility to edit all params but not email address
// 2 - one identity with possibility to edit all params
// 3 - one identity with possibility to edit all params but not email address
// 4 - one identity with possibility to edit only signature
$config['identities_level'] = 3;

// ----------------------------------
// USER PREFERENCES custom settings
// ----------------------------------

// sort contacts by this col (preferably either one of name, firstname, surname)
$config['addressbook_sort_col'] = 'firstname';

// display remote inline images
// 0 - Never, always ask
// 1 - Ask if sender is not in address book
// 2 - Always show inline images
$config['show_images'] = 1;

// Default interval for auto-refresh requests (in seconds)
// These are requests for system state updates e.g. checking for new messages, etc.
// Setting it to 0 disables the feature.
$config['refresh_interval'] = 300;

// Enables adding of standard separator to the signature
$config['sig_separator'] = false;

// When replying:
// -1 - don't cite the original message
// 0  - place cursor below the original message
// 1  - place cursor above original message (top posting)
// 2  - place cursor above original message (top posting), but do not indent th$
$config['reply_mode'] = 1;

// compose html formatted messages by default
//  0 - never,
//  1 - always,
//  2 - on reply to HTML message,
//  3 - on forward or reply to HTML message
//  4 - always, except when replying to plain text message
$config['htmleditor'] = 1;

// Enables display of email address with name instead of a name (and address in title)
$config['message_show_email'] = true;

Eventually change the language setting to your preferred default language.

I also set the product name from

Code:

$config['product_name'] = 'Roundcube Webmail';

to

Code:

$config['product_name'] = 'CompanyName Webmail';

To finish it off, I use the ISPConfig-Roundcube plugins from w2c, which you can install following this guide: https://www.howtoforge.com/install-ispconfig-3-roundcube-plugins-on-debian-10/
And the contextmenu plugin: https://plugins.roundcube.net/#/packages/johndoh/contextmenu

 

I also set up a redirect from anydomain.com/webmail to webmail.example.com. How to set this up and how to set up the site "webmail.example.com" can be found here: https://www.howtoforge.com/community/threads/redirect-webmail-to-webmail-example-com.86368/
