Yes, if you do not use server side sorting and deal with large mailboxes then the session can become pretty big in 1.4.5 because it fetches the headers of each message in a mailbox in order to do the sort. If that's the case, then enable server side sorting if your server supports it or try a squirrelmail 1.5.1 CVS snapshot because it caches data more effective and it doesn't need to download all the headers to do the sorting. Only the header where you sort on will be downloaded and it isn't stored in the session. Instead, the result of the sort, a sortred uid list is stored in the session.
