nextcloud now has a email side where you can link with imap and smtp. it would be nice to have that as a interface option for emails along with Roundcube or have the chose to do either or at install. i have not made a server for mail in a box yet so i dont 100% know if its a feature. just have seen some photos and a couple videos.

I know that the default webmail (Roundcube) might not look so artsy but it is much more stable than the rest.
