Ticket #1483986 (Bugs) Session expires

[Martin Marques]

All I did was put the return true (no other changes made to the code), and 
it seems to work ok. So the problem is in someplace of the 
rcmail_authenticate_session().

As Thomas explained, this piece of code does a double check on a cookie dropped in the client as a security check. To disable it, I changed the "return $valid;" at the end of this function to "return TRUE;" and the complaints I had been receiving died just like that.
