Getting Started
Before you start using RoundCube, you should configure the plugins to your requirements:

Click the login Button
In the next window, find in the top right corner the link called "Settings"
In the preferences menu on the left side of the window, select Manage Plugins
You will be presented with a number of check boxes
Hovering your mouse over each item will give a brief help of what the plugin does
You may enable/disable any combination of plugins you desire
At the bottom is the option to restore the selections back to default, or you can select all or deselect all plugins
If there is something you are not clear on, feel free to ask
