I've used Roundcube for years and finally got fed up with it breaking on every update because of the plugin system. Are there better options around?

Believe it or not, NextCloud. It actually can work as an email client. And it can sync calendars, contacts and todo list too.

one year ago it was unbearably slow AND it copied hundred of thousands of emails on the database clogging everything, did it drastically improve?

Whelp, nextcloud isn't known for being fast. I don't have hundreds of thousands of emails yet so I can't comment on that, but one thing for sure is as you put more and more data on it, you'll have to add more CPU and RAM to it or it'll getting more and more sluggish.

What a piece of crap of webmail that is.

  • NC Webmail UI is poorly designed: compose window is just a small box on the center of the screen, there’s no way to have the markup tools permanently show up;
  • NC Webmail UI is broken: if you select a bunch of text and turn it into a bullet list, the bullets won’t even show up on NC, other e-mail clients will see them tho;
  • Integration/SSO with IMAP is cumbersome: not well documented, default configuration doesn’t even handle a simple “login with the email email and password as the IMAP account” type of setup that is commonly expected;
  • WebUI is slow and fails often: if you open the browser console you’ll find lots of warnings and errors.

I do have a lot of complaints related to mail but if NC is any kind of useful replacement for MS365 / Google Workplace a decently working webmail is the bare minimum. RoundCube is WAY better than what NC is currently offering.
