Wait a minute, are you guys really suggesting there should be *no* timeout? One of the primary uses for a webmail client is to view email on public computers. I sure as heck want to know that if I somehow fail to logout on a public machine, that my session will be closed for me.
Enlighten me: WHat do you mean with "fail to logout"?
Either forget to logout, or the logout doesn't complete properly for whatever reason (temporarily lost communication with the server, etc.)
The point isn't *why* the logout fails, the point is that a session timeout is a safety feature in case, for whatever reason, a logout doesn't happen.
Closing the navegator SHOULD kill the session, AFAIK.
So, the only reason I see is if you leave the web browser open.
