Last year we were joined by Roundcube, the most popular open source webmail client. At the time we promised to invest in the project and since then we have brought back the mailing lists and accelerating development. And today – we introduce enterprise support for Roundcube!
A need for enterprise support for Roundcube
Since Roundcube joined us, Nextcloud began to receive requests from large hosting companies for support. While Roundcube is lightweight and relatively easy to run, businesses prefer that their business critical applications are backed by a serious SLA. There has never been an official Enterprise support offering for Roundcube, but Nextcloud has extensive experience servicing large organisations.
So, today, we are excited to introduce the first official offering of enterprise support for Roundcube! It is tailored specifically for mail providers running large instances with thousands to millions of end users. We also offer our services to help businesses, universities and the public sector, but our offering makes the most sense for larger installations.
Our goal is to help organisations that want to deploy Roundcube – lowering the barrier to entry and helping Roundcube grow. And, of course, the improvements, bug fixes and funds that come out of this will go back into Roundcube, making it a better product for everybody!
We are NOT doing this alone, on the contrary. We’ve assembled a top-team of industry veterans and up-and-coming talent, working with mail server solutions Dovecot Pro and Stalwart, as well as the privacy experts at Mailvelope. Together, we’ve created a complete offering of enterprise support for Roundcube for companies looking to host an amazing email solution.

Background on the support for Roundcube
“The user feedback clearly indicated demand for enterprise support,” said Frank Karlitschek, Founder & CEO at Nextcloud. “The first official enterprise support offering since Roundcube’s initial launch in 2008 delivers on this need and will make Roundcube more accessible to large organisations, encouraging broader adoption of Roundcube and directing resources toward its development.”
Hosting companies around the world such as HostGator, Media Temple, Gandi, OVH and others use Roundcube. In addition, Roundcube is used by many well known universities such as Harvard University to provide email services to students and staff. We believe that these and other organisations will greatly benefit from enterprise support for Roundcube.
Frank Hoberg, founder at Open-Xchange, said: “Our partnership with Nextcloud brings together two major players in open-source based software to deliver an enterprise-grade email backend support option to the wider Roundcube community. Based on Dovecot Pro, this delivers an email backend with range of advanced features, including its exclusive high availability architecture, extended search, and document previews, along with the highest level of support for mission-critical email they demand.”
Mauro De Gennaro, president of Stalwart Labs LLC said: “We are excited to collaborate with Nextcloud on delivering a reliable and modern enterprise email platform to hosting providers across the globe.”
Thomas Oberndoerfer, founder of Mailvelope said: “We are excited to partner with Nextcloud to integrate our OpenPGP-based end-to-end encryption with Roundcube. This collaboration ensures that users can enjoy secure and private email communications seamlessly within their browser.”
Future releases of Roundcube will be able to work with the new JMAP standard supported by Stalwart, modernising and streamlining email management. Roundcube Enterprise is designed for mail providers, complementing the dedicated Nextcloud Mail solution integrated in Nextcloud Hub, which has a focus on providing collaboration services within enterprises.
Organisations interested in the enterprise support offering can learn more and get in contact on our dedicated Roundcube page.
