In the back of my mind, I'm toying with the idea of putting some resources
into sqwebmail, eg, gui modernisation, search facility. Not sure if you are
interested in having those put back into the project or not. If I did, I
could actually fix this problem with the use of frames, turn the idle
timeout right down, have a small auto reloading frame maintain the login
state for so long as the browser window is open to reload that frame.
I'm fairly sure this is already done, at least in the current version of
sqwebmail.
Would submissions like that be welcomed back into the project?
A search function would certainly be a good addition, however I don't think
you realize the complexity of such a task. This is more than just searching
for a text string in a file. Once you realize that you need to deal with
MIME decoding, and mapping character sets, this quickly becomes rather
hairy. Although the existing code base already has the library routines for
doing all that, putting all the necessary bits together is going to get
rather tedious.
A fast search function is suprisingly difficult to implement. Case in point:
Google.
