Description
It would be useful to be able to put Roundcube into a read-only mode where only the read-only database connection is required for use, however no changes can be made.
I apologise if this has already been requested. I have no idea how feasible this is, with a bit of guidance I would be quite happy to implement this.

Ah that's a shame, I thought that might be the case. There's not really anyway around that is there, short of caching the session locally.
I suppose if the read-only period duration was known it would be possible to set the session expires time to whatever time it would be + duration, and simply reject logins for users without sessions, although that's not really an ideal solution.

This is not possible. When a user logs in, the according session data has to be stored in the database which requires write access.
