Re: [SM-USERS] Squirrelmail connection times out (???)

[Rob Tanner]

Hmm,  yep, it's set to 1440 seconds which translates into 24 minutes which sounds about right.  Thanks for that tip.  As for the user timeout plugin, we do have that installed with a 15 minute default and we allow users to individually change it or disable it.  At first I thought that might even be the problem, but I think you hit it on the head.

Thanks,
Rob
