Haven't thought about putting some smiley, warning or explanation of cache importance after suggesting to turn it off. instead of invalidating cache completely, you might consider reducing preference hashing of identities or moving main id information to different pref file. I suspect that you are interested in this part of preferences. Your users may be pissed of, if other webmail preferences start changing on the fly. If you start driving red ferrari, you wouldn't like, if car suddenly changes to pink yugo. It is not as simple as "flip some switch off", but it might help. ID information still needs some cache for "Send" and "Save draft" actions in compose. or system could check .pref file checksum before loading it, but it might be totally useless due 1.4.20+ security tokens. or uncached prefs should be loaded only in compose.php. -- Tomas ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ This SF.net email is sponsored by Sprint What will you do first with EVO, the first 4G phone?
