attached plugin that should display warning, if browser has cookies
disabled. login.php tries to set session cookie. Plugin checks if session
cookie is set.

You can ask your provider to install it. If they don't want to use plugin
that was written only 15 minutes ago, they can open src/login.php and add
one more modification there. They already did it by adding "Whole Email
Address:" and "To backup/copy old emails you can get them from the old
mail server by clicking here".

Your provider can also check
http://www.squirrelmail.org/wiki/en_US/AutoMagicLogout. By default cookie
expires within 24 minutes.

If you have problems with outlook, you should check your own computer. If
you use Windows XP, check if service people installed SP2. You can also
check your computer with Ad-Aware (http://www.lavasoftusa.com), SpyBot S&D
(http://www.spybot.info) and some antivirus
(http://www.pandasoftware/activescan,
http://vil.nai.com/vil/averttools.asp#stinger). You can also check if you
have latest Office updates installed.

If people that installed squirrelmail on webserver, have problems or
issues, they can contact squirrelmail-users mailing list. I suspect that
they installed default squirrelmail config and haven't checked all
available options. They can customize squirrelmail by adding own image
instead of that squirrel and remove "By the SquirrelMail Development Team"
strings from login.php. These parts are controled in config. They should
update squirrelmail to latest available version and add some security
fixes.
