After really pondering this and having to get away from it and coming back to it with a clear head, I think now the problem stemmed from a number of issues combined mentioned in this thread. You mentioned about open browsers - making changes in one and the other one not seeing those changes. Looking back on it, I am sure that is what actually happened. Sometimes, I would have a few browser tabs opened for a couple of days or so, which was the case for the 2nd browser. I'm 100% sure that when I had enabled the 'HTTP Authentication' a.k.a. 'login_auth' plugin and then logged into the password-protected directory using one of my Apache HTTP auth login usernames (the E-mail address was not setup as an authorized user in Apache) via the 2nd browser was when the 2nd '.pref' file was created. That E-mail address' '.pref' file also existed as it should since it was setup after the software was installed, of course, independent of the browser. I than went back to using the primary browser for SquirrelMail and at some point after disabling that 'login_auth' plugin, the 2nd browser which was still opened 'had not gotten the memo' that the plugin had been disabled. Therefore, it was still using the Apache's http auth user's '.pref' file created since the browser had not been closed to delete that session's cache. Although I had cleared the browser cache via the Tools menu, that did not have enough of an effect because the Apache login and '.pref' file used was still active since the browser had not been closed. (whew... :)) Once I closed the 2nd browser and re-reading your previous replies a few times until it all sank in, I went back to the 2nd browser and tested sending messages to see which preferences it would use (including the change made to the Timeout param). To my 'surprise', it was now on the same page as the primary browser. I can even login to the Apache http auth with a different username and then login to SquirrelMail with the selected E-mail address and SM pulls up the correct '.pref' file. I even went as far as changing an option on the 'Options - Personal Information' page to force a change in the '.pref' file in order to see which file would change. The result was that the timestamp had shown that the change was correctly made in the E-mail address' '.pref' file. So, thanks so very much in helping me better understand how this app works. Now I know that if I want to use the HTTP Authentication plugin, I need to add the E-mail address to the Apache usernames and signup with that name OR maybe utilize the 'Mail Alias' plugin and then add that alias to the Apache auth for signon to SM.
