Wow! What a lame design. You tend to expect stuff like that from Ipswitch.

I'm running 8.15hf2, and can only get the password to go into the cookie if
I select the checkbox "Check here if this is your private computer and you
want to use cookies to store your log-in information."

It doesn't do it otherwise. Session management is handled by another cookie
field, myImailSessionKey/Number.

However, cookies are deep within the user's profile, and any reasonable
security plan will protect user profile data (this is not to say a
reasonable security plan is particularly common<g>), but I do see your
issue. If you disable the "Remember Me" checkbox (Hack the form), then this
won't occur (at least on 8.15). You users will have to type their passwords
(and if it's not HTTPS, send them over the wire in plain text).

Subject: [IMail Forum] Need some help


Hey guys, kinda new here and to Imail.  We are running 8.13 and just
discovered that on Mozilla and some none XP pcs that the users password is
stored in a cookie in plain text.  Is there a fix for this yet?  Some of our
users have discovered this and really freaking about it.  I'm having
problems finding much info on it.  Can someone point me in the right
direction?  Thanks a lot.
