Description
Hi,
I'm not sure if this is a target of Roundcube or not, but it does not display correctly on a Nokia mobile phone.
Thanks!

Actually, it looks quite close on my phone, but the email window is very narrow -> that's the main issue.

Is roundcube going to provide a handheld css for mobile devices?
This results in including a line like this in the header:
<link rel=”stylesheet” type=”text/css” media=”handheld” href=”/css/handheld.css” />
and providing handheld.css which is a custom style for handheld devices with a minimal layout.

The latest Roundcube is completely un-usable in the new Opera Mini 5 on my Sony Ericsson K800 mobile phone. You can only see 2 lines of messages; the rest of the messages and much of the user interface become hidden an inaccessible. A message itself is not even readable - all you can see is the sender and subject information - the rest gets truncated.
In contrast, older webmail software like Squirrelmail works perfectly(I prefer using the "full-fat" email clients even on my mobile device).
This is a serious flaw, and is something that should be given much more priority IMO.

Mobile browsers are having limited javascript support and I don't know if this will be possible to make Roundcube working properly with them. This is not a priority for developers.

I think that the problem with Opera Mini 5 is that the JavaScript? support works *too* well. Correct me if I'm wrong, but there seems to be some window size detection code in there that totally forgets the mobile use-case.

I guess it's not, the workaround would be to install Opera Mini, it works reasonably well with Roundcube.
A very simple fallback GUI that works with ancient browsers and mobile phones would be a nice feature in version 2 or something though.
