Re: [SM-USERS] Users - Multisession problem
Roberto, As I said before this appears to be an issue with the way SQmail is using the cookies it generates when you login and has been an issue with SQmail ever since I can remember. I can not remember though if it has been reported or not back to the SQmail group to fix or not...

The same cookie is used no matter what user is logged in. Thus when the second user logs in it overwrites/corrupts the cookie of the first user that was already logged in. Once this occurs it has strange behavior when saving anything in the settings area.

How does this plugin tackle such "parallel" sessions? Does it cause termination of the initial session (when the second is attempting to start), does it disallow initiation of a new session (when one is active), or it may allow two parallel sessions running?

Possibly, but it's not a foolproof solution (close enough in most cases) and we prefer to have features added to SquirrelMail via plugin if at all possible in order to preserve the stable nature of the core product. > How does this plugin tackle such "parallel" sessions?
