Thanks to everyone for their input. The control-click solution works well, but unfortunately it's difficult to communicate to customers. Perhaps one of these days we'll create a "tip of the day" plugin for useful tricks like this! The ability to hide the preview pane without having to go to user settings is really helpful, and this is the way I tend to deal with it. Thomas suggested yesterday that the source of the problem is our Imap backend rather than Roundcube. However, I have done some more testing and found it to be significantly slower than our old webmail - though not quite as slow as I suggested in my original email. In the old application, I can page through around 20 messages in 30 seconds, but in Roundcube I can only read around 13 messages. This is not very scientific, but does suggest there's room for improvement. I'm planing to do some performance profiling of Roundcube soon, and will share the results with you all.
