It appears that the current version of JAWMail (0.8) doesn't not autologout a user when it closes his browser. I'm not sure what is the timeout on the cookie, but after I close down the browser w/o explicitly logging out, I can reopen my inbox by just relaunching the browser and pointing it to the JAWMail directory - even a day later.
I was wandering if this is a feature or a bug, and if it's the former - wouldn't changing it be a good idea ?

If you would like to refer to this comment somewhere else in this project, copy and paste the following link:
The default time out for the cookie is 2 weeks. Therefore, when you close and reopen you browser your are still logged in. To change this behaviour you can set the cookie to timeout earlier or later as required.

note - if you delete the cookie between browser sessions you will have to login again.

Setting the cookie timeout to 0 when installing does _exactly_ that. If you close your browser and reopen it, you won't be logged in anymore.
