Sounds like a browser issue. The plugin has thousands of users, and that's the first I've ever heard that. The bigger problem with the plugin is that it does not save messages that are really big (well it saves only part of such messages). Also note that number of messages composed has no effect on the plugin; it only saves the most recent one. |

There are too many ways for the user to leave that the browser has little or no knowledge or control over. The user can click any link on the top menu, any link on the left frame, navigate to another site by clicking a bookmark or typing something in the address bar, etc etc. Instead, the current best solution is to simply save the message contents: http://squirrelmail.org/plugin_view.php?id=8 > Because i have a user who's in the middle of writing an email, clicked on > other folder or inbox and she wanted to come back to her previous screen > which is to composing screen that she left a sec ago. > > She asked whether that's been saved or not, and i replied "i would not think > so". > > Therefore, how could i get this warning to work? do i need to write a > program or add some codes in there?
