in regards to the browsers ie is the most used brower and some of us dont have a choice we are required to use it for work. also opera also does the same thing as he stated.

That should be "index.php" not "login.php" of course. :)

Login into Roundcube, and then leave by visiting another site, closing the window, etc. Now return to the main Roundcube index (e.g. www.domain.com/webmail). You'll see "Your session is invalid", even though your session is only seconds/minutes old, and you'll need to re-login.
I found that this error was being produced from "login.php", at line 174:
if ($_auth !== $sess_auth
Because "$_auth" has no value, set on line 92:
$_auth = get_input_value('_auth', RCUBE_INPUT_GPC);
Which looks for an "_auth" cookie, which never exists.
I fixed this by setting the "_auth" cookie when the session is created. Added at line 101 in "program/include/main.inc":
setcookie("_auth",$sess_auth);
Is this OK? Would it be better to remove the "$_auth !== $sess_auth" test altogether? (everything seemed to work when I did that, since "sess_auth" is used where important?).

It should not be removed. It's a security check. What if you got up and left and someone went back in your history and tried to log into your email. What if roundcube didn't check the session? Would you really want /anyone/ to be able to see/send email from your account?
I think it should be left in. If you don't want to leave the webmail system, get a real browser like Firefox/Opera and don't use IE.
