The patch you sent to multilogin is working great for me so far.. unfortunately I can't say I have more than a handful of users testing this particular SquirrelMail installation, but I think it is worth the effort to try rolling this into multilogin as a configurable if it's not too much work.. I know I'll use it.
The new timeout_user is great! I'll put it through a larger test group this week, but one thing I noticed that may create confusion for the end user.. when using the Compose in a separate window option, the popup window doesn't "timeout" until you select some activity.. even though the main window has timed out. If I click "Save as Draft" I immediately get the "you must be signed in" page, and no draft has been saved in my IMAP account. If I go ahead and sign back in, the previous compose window appears (full screen which isn't quite right) but WITH the content of the e-mail I was composing.. so I can then save as draft or send the message. I know I've run into trouble with the "Compose in New Window" working properly -- it always uses Javascript, and the strict conformance to SM not requiring Javascript seems to be a little lacking.. so I don't know if this timeout with Compose in a separate window can be handled differently, but I thought I'd bring it to your attention to see if you have any suggestions or ideas. By the way, THANK YOU.. this is the kind of functionality that keeps the end users from pestering us about losing e-mail.. even though we tell them they may loose mail if they don't save often, they never listen and this really helps! -- Chris Winterrowd Unix E-mail Administrator Texas Instruments Inc.
