Plugin's

Roundcube has a lot of plugin's. I have used:

• Managesieve filters (to filter incomming mail to folders)
• Calendar (Just for fun)
• DKIM status (DomainKeys identified mail)

Just extract the plugin's in the plugin directory, and add the plugin to /config/main.inc.php -> Plugin Array. That's it.
