A designer I work with was having problems with his sessions sometimes
expiring after a few minutes. He uses OS X/Internet Explorer/Entourage. He
determined that whenever he checks his email with Entourage, his session
cookie is no longer recognized. He got Microsoft support to duplicate and
acknowledge the problem. I use Mac OS 9/Internet Explorer/Outlook Express --
no problem.
