Yes, it is being "fixed" in later versions of Horde and IMP, but the actual
fact is that this is a php issue, not a Horde/IMP issue, and you can fix
it via your php configuration.  Simply set your php session configuration
to a longer timeout in your php.ini file.  Something like:

session.cookie_lifetime = 0
session.gc_probability = 25
session.gc_maxlifetime = 7200

You can make the gc_maxlifetime as large as you need, though 7200 seconds
(2 hours) is a good number IMHO.  I think the default is about 20 minutes?
