Webmail timeouts

[#1]

Hi All,
Webmail keeps logging me out.
Until very recently I could leave myself perpetually logged in to webmail.  (My employer bars external IMAP and SMTP connections, so this is the only way to keep an eye on my mail.)
I can no longer do this because the squirrelmail page has begun to log me out every few minutes.
Does anyone know how I can change this?
Cheers,

I didn't think there were any idle timeouts on our webmail system.
Is this something that anyone else has been seeing recently?
I've just logged into webmail and I'll see if it logs me out over lunch.

[#3]

yes.  it started happening a couple of weeks ago.  now, whenever i pop back to the page i find a sidebar with 'go to the login page'.

Weird.
I left it half an hour, and it's not timing out when I click on "inbox".

That's exactly what I see, and the timescale is spot on.

I'm not aware of anything specific that changed a fortnight or so ago. It's around the time we made some changes to the CAPTCHA system, but those changes got rolled back IIRC.
I've just logged in to see if I can replicate this. What browser are you both using?

[#7]

i use opera.  i've opened it in konqueror to see if it holds up better.  only just thought of it, so will report back.

I tried with Firefox 3.0.3 and was unable to replicate the problem. I'll give Opera a whirl today.

I am getting this problem too using IE6
I access webmail from work and have to use that awful caughtya thing - might his be the difference we are seeing to your internal testing?

Have been getting this for a couple of weeks using Firefox 3.0.2

Just gone back to it and I'm still logged in

[#12]

no better in konqueror.  i'll now give firefox a whirl.

I've used FF 2.0.0.11 and 2.0.0.17.  About to try IE 6.  XP Pro SP2.
I should have emphasised that this is on a work machine, not on my home (Plusnet ISP consuming) machine.  I haven't been at home long enough to try it there
Is it possible this is an issue with an individual server (or server group) which I manage to connect to?  Config perhaps missed an update?

firefox 3 times out just the same.

Just tried with firefox 3.0.3 - also times out.
