SUMMARY
This knowledgebase article explains how to edit the MailEnable Web mail session timeout registry keys to accomadate session timeout problems.
NOTE: This article only applies to version 1 of the MailEnable Web mail interface.
SYMPTOMS
Session timeout errors after a few minutes when accessing web mail.
RESOLUTION
Before following this procedure,
reconfirm the procedures outlined here (validating both the ASP script timeout
and the Session Timeout).
Script Timeout: http://www.mailenable.com/kb/content/article.asp?ID=ME020033
Session Timeout: http://www.mailenable.com/kb/content/article.asp?ID=ME020120
If the error still occurs then the following MailEnable registry keys can be
altered:
MailEnable
has the ability to configure two specific timeouts in relation
to IIS. These are referred to as the session timeout and script timeout values.
They are configured when a mail user first loads the web mail
application.
The setting for the script timeout is typically not related
to session timeout issues. In any case, the default value for the script timeout
is 30 minutes, and can be changed via the registry. The value for the IIS
MMC can also be configured (which will override the setting MailEnable
applies).
The setting can be configured under via the following registry
key:
KeyRoot: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Mail Enable\Mail
Enable\Services\WEBMAIL\Options
KeyName: ScriptTimeout
Recommended Value:
1800 (1800 seconds :: 30 minutes)
Notes: The registry key does not exist by
default and therefore must be created.
The setting for the Session Timeout could be
related to the problem (although the default value should far exceed the
timeout). The registry key to add to configure the timeout
follows:
KeyRoot: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Mail Enable\Mail
Enable\Services\WEBMAIL\Options
KeyName: SessionTimeout
Recommended Value:
40 (i.e. 40 minutes)
Notes: The registry key does not exist by default and
therefore must be created.
Note: To apply these
settings, the Web Server will need to be restarted. This can be done via the
Service Control Manager or from the command prompt using
IISRESET.
