You're supposed to *read* the INSTALL file, not change it :-)

LOL ... Okay, I deserved that one.

But to answer your question, my users are complaining that by the time they fnish typing a lengthy email, sqwebmail has logged them out and they can't send it .... I guess I didn't describe my problem well.

Ah... *that* timeout. Yes, I find 20 minutes to be too small too.

./configure --enable-softtimeout=3600

will bump it up to an hour, or use Setenv SQWEBMAIL_TIMEOUTSOFT 3600 (and this _is_ documented in the INSTALL file). If you wanted to increase it beyond 2 hours you would have to make some additional changes, also documented there.

Personally, I would like sqwebmail to handle this better: if it gets a POST for a message when the session has expired, then it gives you a login page but with the message in hidden form variables. If you login correctly, then the message is sent. The same could apply for *any* sqwebmail operation.

Regards,

Brian.
