It's for address book and preferences.  It's not that big
of a deal.  It can even use SQLite so there's no need for
MySQL.

That said, RoundCube isn't quite ready for prime time yet,
but it does show great promise.  It currently hangs on
SSL imap and has problems with LARGE mailboxes,
but those problems should be addressed sometime soon.
It definitely bears watching.
