• Scroll down the apps menu and click on the +Apps icon
• Scoll down till you see RoundCube Mail and select it.
• Press Enable
• Click on your name in the top-right hand corner to reveal your menu.
• Press Admin
• Scroll down to RoundCube Settings.

• Press Save.

Log into RoundCube Mail inside ownCloud

• Click on your name in the top-right hand corner to reveal your menu again.
• Press Personal
• Scroll down to RoundCube Mailaccount and enter your username and password.
• Click on the Webmail icon in the apps menu on the left

You should now see the app logging you in and after a few seconds, hey presto, there's your RoundCube session inside ownCloud.
