Why doesn't the answer make sense? While there are certainly hundreds
of other reasons one might be logged out unexpectedly, the three
listed (phplib session timeout, php.ini-optimized, access controls)
are the ones that have historically been frequently encountered.

Were there no other error messages from IMP when it couldn't find any
of the tables it requires, either displayed to the browser or
whereever you've instructed PHP to log its errors?
