Re: Re: Your request didn't contain the proper session ID cookie -- access denied!

Hi Phil,

Again your help is appreciated but your suggestion is something I've already
tried, unfortunately. I've killed all the session files inside /var/neomail
and it just hasn't helped.

As I'm looking to change my whole base of my mail system away from just
system users anyway its no big deal - I needed a slightly more feature-rich
webmail package to cope with some of the demands my users have been placing.

The problem now is finding the time to rebuild all my mail system :/
