PHP cleans up unused sessions after session.gc_maxlifetime seconds (see your php.ini). SM tells the browser the the "key" cookie should expire when the user session is finito (browser closes, computer crashes, fire burns down house). > I've parsed global.php and other source files and cannot find a > time/expiration value set by squirrelmail. grep -rin setcookie src/ functions/ | grep -v \.svn > The php.ini is using "session.cookie_lifetime = 0" (same as prior system, > old system was php4.x) You also need to look at your session lifetime (see above). > Why the difference?
