This server-side plugin is useful for all Roundcube users who don’t like to log into their mail account each time they open their browser. The plugin stores a persistent login cookie which automatically logs the user in the next time he or she visits the Roundcube web mailer.
You can download the plugin from the Sourceforge project page.

If you use the AuthToken based authentication, than you have to open the *.sql script in the plugin’s sql/ folder and execute each statement which is listed under the “Update Version 2.0″ section.
That’s all!
The plugin provides two different ways of usage. User-Data cookie or AuthToken cookie based.
This method doesn’t require any configuration, it is enabled by default. It stores the user’s login information encrypted in a cookie.
This method have to be enabled in the plugins configuration file. It requires the creation of a table in your roundcubemail’s database as well. The table can be created by the SQL script in the sql/ directory of the plugin. Execute ALL statements from the SQL file.
