Hi guys, I think I've isolated and I found a workaround for the the problem, of which I can repeatedly reproduce now.
If two users access their mail from same browser even logging out, their session data gets mixed. However if the user access from another computer it's again ok. The problem shows up if the user changes anything in their prefs. Then the problem is persisted, written to disk. In my setup SuSE 7.3 php 4.0.4 some damn idiot (probably me..ummm definetly me) turned on the register globals parameter in php.ini. Actually this was for some other application to work. After having the other application non global friendly now it works ok. No user sessions are mixing up. This is valid for all the versions including 1.4.x on this specific setup. It was a serious flaw because people were getting other's mails because of whatis (over)written as reply-to address in their prefs. I hope this gives a hint to developers. After turning of register globals it didn't happen as far as I know, but still watching closely. Thanks a lot for your prompt responses.
