Automatic Logout from Webmail?
Is there any way to prevent (or significantly delay) the automatic logout from Webmail, at least on an account-by-account basis?
Using the two-factor feature, plus keeping my account passwords encrypted on my computer, makes it rather of a pain to have to log in more than once a day. Ideally Webmail would stay logged in until I manually log out or shut down the browser. Background: My intention is to use Webmail primarily for a sub-account that is not intended to be very secure but will carry a lot of routine traffic. (I would normally use an email client with POP3/SMTP for the main account and for a second sub-account that carries business and personal traffic.) I could probably use an alias as this not-very-secure email address, but I need to retain it indefinitely as a reference for the many forum, support, and other, more sensitive site logins that I have come to depend on. The above has been my customary operating procedure with the old email provider/ISP, but they have become too unreliable to tolerate any longer. If there's a better procedure, however, I'd be glad to be educated. Perhaps my customary approach doesn't make any sense with Runbox? -- jclarkw |

It's not currently possible to prevent the automatic logout. The new Runbox 7 will not log you out by default as it works in a different way and allows the mail list to be updated when new mail arrives.

I think I saw that 7 is out of beta now, but I haven't seen a schedule for release. Can you comment? -- jclarkw |

BTW, as long as you use the webmail, the timeout counter is reset every time you open a new page.
Automatic logout only kicks in when you don't touch your webmail session for a couple of hours. Regards, gecko |
