Yes, I do.

O.K., I get this a bit clearer now. The sessions are written with the
regular php4 file session handler to /tmp.

a) Login with correct credentials
b) session shows up in /tmp
c) I get the same empty login-screen again just like a)
d) Login with correct credentials again
e) the session from b) in /tmp is remnamed (or is destroyed and a new
one is created, can't tell)
f)  <=> c)

BTW: At first I didn't use the sql preferences container. Then I had a
php4-error telling me that the session couldn't be created in /tmp. Also
a corresponding php4-session file showed up in /tmp. 

Are there any specific config-requirements for sessions in php.ini?
I just the regular standard with trans-sess-id=1, nocache and never had
any problems with sessions so far. To me it is strange that the sessions
are somehow changed or deleted, since this is something more then the
regular "garbage collection" I know so far.

No I don't. I would like to see the "general horde screen", that is what
I am trying to accomplish. I had the same problem with my well managed
webspace-Account. I switched to use imp there but would like to get some
more hold of "horde".

Hope you can give me a hint what might be wrong with my session-related
stuff.
Thanks again for your valuable time,
