Version of PHP?  And just to double-check, you're using the PHPLIB that
comes with Horde (horde/phplib), right?  How have you configured PHPLIB
session storage (shared memory, database, ...)?

This is a PHPLIB session problem.  For a given user, does it happen every
time (reproducible)?  If so, the easiest way to test is to use
horde/test.php3 from their IE browser, and use the "Click here to test
PHPLIB" link.  If reloading that page doesn't increment the counter,
you've confirmed it.

I checked the change logs between 1.2.0 and 1.2.5, and nothing stood out
related to IE... but if you have the ability to try this with the latest
Horde/IMP (1.2.5/2.2.5) that would probably be a good idea.  The later
version of test.php3 will show you the session key too; comparing between
a browser that works and one that doesn't might be instructive.
