Actually it will open on another machine quite nicely. You have to have the
ignore source address checked and just copy the exact URL string to another
machine and it will opne up the session once it hasn't timed out.

Subject: RE: [imail] Security issue


this is a security "feature" related to the way the imail webmessaging
engine implements cookies
and session management and has nothing to do with hksi's interfaces per say
(although hksi
has done some nice work to beef up session duration)
imail's default timeout on a webmessaging cookied session is, i think, 12
minutes
that should give you enough information to do further experiments
also, try copying the session cookie and url to a entirely different system
and see if you
can hijack the session - it won't work . . .
