-              v44
+              v45
 Web mail is an alternative to accessing your email via an email client.  It can be used at any time but is particularly useful when travelling.  Simply point your browser to https://mail.astro.columbia.edu/ and log in.
+ * when using webmail, please note that there is an expiration/timout period of approximately 15 minutes. If creating an email of extended length or if you will be away from the browser for the given amount of time, save a copy of the text or use the 'save draft' button on the webmail interface to avoid losing the content of the email.
+ * when using webmail, please note that the session will disconnected after a certain period of inactivity. This is usually around 10-15 minutes after being logged in to the webmail interface without clicking any buttons or performing any actions. To avoid this, force webmail to auto-refresh the side navigation bar every 5 minutes. To do this, log in to [https://mail.astro.columbia.edu/squirrelmail/src/login.php webmail], click on “Options” and then “Folder Preferences”. You will see an option titled “Auto Refresh Folder List:”. It is defaulted to Never. Change the setting to 5 minutes and Submit the changes.
  * please note, users have complained of multiple email messages being sent when using the Back button on browsers, this is true when using Safari 2.0.4 (from 2005) but this may also be the case when using other browsers.
