Apologies in advance if I should have contacted a dev owner directly instead of the list. If this was sent to the wrong place, please let me know the proper place and I'll pursue this there.

Hello List--

I'd like to have tabbed e-mail, and I'd like a better webmail client. I think RoundCube could be the solution to both:

With the excellent job the dev team has done thus far, I'm sure you've gotten a ton of pet feature requests. However, I'm willing to write the code for mine - *if* a patch would be accepted into core.

Basically, I'd like to introduce a "tabbed interface" option (or default, if you prefer, but I think an option is a good intermediary step). The existing RoundCube interface, which replaces the main screen with a screen dedicated to the selected function (reading, writing, choosing from a list), is well suited to accept tabs.

I've worked on a number of OS projects and would be capable of creating both the back-end code (using whatever coding conventions you prefer) and the front-end code (images, XHTML, CSS) to add this as an option. I've also got some experience building advanced, cross- platform AJAX applications (FeedLounge).

If this is a feature you'd be interested in having in the product? Perhaps there is someone I should talk to about the best way to do the implementation (the 5 minute architecture tour)?

Cheers,
