Session timeout on WebMail


Everytime you access your e-mail using WebMail, the server will
automatically assign a session id that is valid for one hour.
No session is allowed to last longer than an hour.

This not only helps balance the load on the server, ensuring that
the application will run faster, but it also acts as a security
measure for WebMail users. If your WebMail session is left open for
a long period of time, chances increase that someone can access
your WebMail account without your permission.

Web-based applications, such as the WebMail, are actually scripts that
run within the server online. This provides you with quick access to
your e-mail account, even when you are on the go.

If you want constant connectivity, we advise that you utilize an
e-mail client.
