Roundcube，作为最好的 [开源网页邮箱服务](https://itsfoss.com/open-source-web-based-email-clients/) 之一，决定与 [Nextcloud](https://nextcloud.com/) 合作，后者是一个倍受欢迎的开源协作平台，以其协作工具套件而知名。


**电子邮件的重要性与日俱增** ，而谷歌和微软等公司正试图垄断市场，这一联手合作的决定显得颇有战略意义。


让我来详细介绍一下。


### Roundcube 的新家

这就是 Nextcloud 的 CEO，Frank Karlitschek，关于此次合作的描述：



> 
> 未来，**Nextcloud 将提供必要的资源**，比如 **项目托管** 、**引入人才的投资** 、**帮助开发**，以及围绕 Roundcube **培育社区**。
> 
> 
> 


最重要的是，[Roundcube](https://roundcube.net/) **不会取代** [Nextcloud Mail](https://apps.nextcloud.com/apps/mail)；它们将作为独立的网页邮箱解决方案并存。


Frank 强调 Roundcube 是一个被许多人使用的重要的开源项目，而 Nextcloud Mail 是**一款强大的邮箱客户端**，但是没有合并它们的计划。


你可能会好奇，**为什么会发生这个变化？**


嗯，Roundcube 的创始人和维护者 Thomas Brüderli **作出了退出的决定**。当被问到原因时，他如此回答：



> 
> 自从孩子出生后，我如何安排我非工作的时间的关注力显然转向了家庭生活，因此我逐渐停止了贡献，也对项目的新动态失去了跟踪。
> 
> 
> Roundcube 项目需要一个更好，更专注的领导，因此是时候让我退后，放手了。
> 
> 
> 


许多人都能理解这种情况，很高兴看到 Thomas 将他心爱的项目交给了能够维持它发展的人。


我必须说，**我对这个消息感到惊讶**，作为多年来一直在工作场所使用 Roundcube 作为网页邮箱的用户，我亲眼见证了它自 2018 年以来的成长与变迁。


我很高兴这个项目得到了它应得的关注和关怀。


此外，我建议你浏览一下 [官方博客](https://nextcloud.com/blog/open-source-email-pioneer-roundcube-comes-aboard-nextcloud/) 以及链接在其中的采访，以了解更多关于此次合并的信息。


? 你怎么看？这将如何影响未来的运作？

Roundcube, one of the [best open source web-based email clients](https://itsfoss.com/open-source-web-based-email-clients/?ref=news.itsfoss.com) around, has decided to team up with [Nextcloud](https://nextcloud.com/?ref=news.itsfoss.com), a popular open-source collaboration platform that is known for its suite of collaboration tools.

This move comes in at a time when **the importance of emails is just growing**, and the likes of Google and Microsoft are trying to corner the market.

Allow me to take you through this.

## A New Home for Roundcube

That is what the CEO of Nextcloud, Frank Karlitschek, mentions this move to be:

Going forward,Nextcloud will be providing the necessary resourcessuch ashosting the project,investments for procuring talent,helping development, andfostering a communityaround Roundcube.

And most importantly, **Roundcube**** will not be replacing **[ Nextcloud Mail](https://apps.nextcloud.com/apps/mail?ref=news.itsfoss.com); both of them will exist as separate webmail solutions.

Frank has emphasized that Roundcube is an important open-source project used by many, and Nextcloud Mail is “*a powerful client in its own right*”, but there are no plans to merge them.

You might be wondering; **why is this change happening?**

Well, the founder and maintainer of Roundcube, Thomas Brüderli, **had to step down**. When asked why, he said that:

With the birth of our kids my focus how to spend my off-work time clearly moved towards family life and thus I gradually stopped contributing and I lost track of what’s happening in the project.

The Roundcube project deserves a better and a more committed lead and therefore it‘s time for me to step back and let go.

This is something many out there can relate to, it is good to see that Thomas handed his precious project over to someone who can keep it going.

I must say,** I was surprised to hear about this**, having used Roundcube as my webmail of choice at workplace, I have seen how it has evolved since 2018.

I am glad that this project is getting the attention and care it deserves.

Furthermore, I suggest you go through the [official blog](https://nextcloud.com/blog/open-source-email-pioneer-roundcube-comes-aboard-nextcloud/?ref=news.itsfoss.com), and the interview linked there, for more insights on this merge.
