Roundcube requires browser features that Privacy Browser (by Stoutner) 
disables by default.  After visiting the roundcube page, goto menu on 
the top right corner, Edit Domain Settings, then enable Javascript, 
Cookies and DOM Storage. Reload the page and it should work.

I also recommend Thunderbird from F-Droid store for regular use.
