How is this behavior unique or specific to squirrel mail? Isn't this simply a standard behavior of your browser?
--- rod.

Wouldn't this be a browser problem?

What happens when you go back, and actually try and click on a link to read an e-mail? My guess is you would be prompted for a user/pass as you are not authenticated.

Unless I'm mistaken, to fix this you'll need to set your browser to request a refresh of the page on every visit.

thanks for your replay,

yes, you are right.

I am using WindowsXP service pack2 and Internet Explorer 7.

I had changed the settings in Interntet Explorer Tools -> Options -> General -> Browsing History -> Settings -> Check for the newer version of stored pages. -> "Every time I visit the web page".

Also i set Disk space to use "8 MB".

Days to keep pages in histroy "0".

After changing the settings i had restarted the system. Then browse the mail through Internet Explorer. Again the browser shows the previosly vistited pages whne i am pressing back buutton after signing out.

Is there any other settings i have to change in Intnernet Explorer.

In the same system i installed firefox browser and browse mail through it. Then i try back button after signout. This was not shows the previously visited pages.

please help me,

thanks in advance.

I don't think this behaviour unique to squirrmail.

I think i have to change some settings in Internet Explorer.

please help me.

thanks in advance/

I tried it in IE and it won't let me backup. The issue is that once you have signed out, you need to sign back in, not just use the back button.

I had a look and couldn't work it out. Sounds to me like an authentication problem, but I have no solution for you.

Edit - Actually it sounds like IE is caching, but don't ask me how to turn it off. Try signing out, backing up then refreshing. I'd expect some sort of error from squirrelmail

Pressing back will always show you the previous contents of the page...however, if you sign out, you shouldn't be able to access anything, as you are not authenticated.

Example:

1. You sign in, check your e-mail.
2. You sign out.
3. Press Back a few times on your browser, which will take you back to your mail box.
4. Try and read your mail...you should find that you will need to re-authenticate to do anything.

I don't think you can fix it...as it's not really a problem =/

Did u cleanup old cache/history ?

Tools -> Internet Options -> General -> Browsing History -> Delete -> Delete All

Please delete old cache/history files and reboot your system and test again.

Tell us if you still face problem.

Still the problem is exist.
