If you had to put up a public facing webmail interface for people to use,
and maintain it for the foreseeable future (5-6 years), what would you
use?

Roundcube?
https://roundcube.net

Rainloop?
http://www.rainloop.net

Something else?

Requirements:
Needs to be open souce and GPL, BSD or Apache licensed

Email storage will be accessed via IMAP/TLS1.2

Runs on a Debian based platform with apache2 or nginx

Desktop browser CSS and mobile device CSS/HTML functionality on 4" to 7"
size screens with Chrome and Safari

I work for an ISP, and recently we were faced with the same dilemma. We
knew that our RoundCube was rather old and needed a facelift.  We started
looking at new clients what I came across RainLoop.

IMO RoundCube still doesn't have a decent working mobile theme.

I went ahead and installed RainLoop on my personal server. Configuration
was a breeze. The interface is very nice. And the mobile layout is very
slick.

I did come across a problem with displaying emails and when I emailed
their support email, they were very quick to respond.  And within 24 hors
they were able to write a fix for my specific issue and build a new release
for me to download and test.

I think that says something for their support team.

Even if my office doesn't adopt RainLoop,  I will continue using it on my
personal server for the forsee able future.
