Did you copied the config from somewhere, maybe migrated from an earlier 
version?
I had such problem in the beginning myself. I've thrown away my migrated 
H3 config and re-created from scratch, one setting after another. There had 
been a thread about cache timeouts some time ago, I think the settings in 
question were:
$conf['session']['timeout']
$conf['session']['max_time']
Someone had stuff there, which rendered the session management useless.

With WLAN clients I have the problem that they get new IPs sometimes and 
get refused by Horde. Speaking of cookies, you've said you flushed them, 
re-check that you do not have forbidden cookies for sub-domains or
something like that. I do have seen problems with Mozilla when the users 
switched from H3 to H5 their old profile failed, a new one worked fine.
