No, as far as I know there is no plugin to handle that situation and it's
not part of SquirrelMail itself. It is, however, possible to code such a
plugin.

Do you really add accounts through SquirrelMail? That isn't possible
unless you have a plugin with that functionality, and if that's the case
you might be able to expand it to do what you want. Administrating the
users' settings through a clean SquirrelMail installation is possible if
you know the users' password.

It's because they are accessing SquirrelMail from the same computer
without logging out correctly (by clicking the "Sign out" link) between
each user.

I'd ssh to the web server, which keeps these settings (SquirrelMail
doesn't store its settings at the IMAP server), and grep for the
parameters I'd like to check. If you have your user preferences in a db,
all you have to do is to retreive them through a simple SQL query. That's
easier than writing a plugin to do it for you.

Sincerely,
Fredrik
