Roundcubemail: 3 Column Layout for Larry Skin

It would be really very productive if message preview is displayed on right instead of below the message list. That is much more efficient use of screen real estate than current default.

I wonder if 3-column layout is on radar anywhere. Every time we use Roundcube, we badly miss this feature in otherwise a great piece of software. Anyone out there who can write a small skin plugin to implement this feature. There is an old plugin at https://github.com/tofi86/Roundcube-Plugin-Threecol-Layout that has not been updated. Can it be updated to be compatible with recent updates?

I am willing to donate $100 if message preview pane is moved to right. Anyone joining hand with me on this?

I would also be very interested in this feature! I was about to submit a feature request until I found this ticket already open. I'm a poor student, but I could contribute a very small bit if that would help :-)

I just checked this plugin. It is updated for support RC 1.1 and works.

Merged into master.

The columns should also be configurable in Widescreen mode... If not, this feature is quite unusable if you have a custom layout. :-(

@alecpl which release features side preview pane?

3-column layout was implemented in 1.3-beta. There's a milestone assigned to this ticket.
