We solved that problem here by forcing sessions to cookies, as Magnus  
wrote.    The only thing that would prevent this would be mapping  
sessions to the IP using them (TMK) - IMP used to have this feature,  
but it was removed (perhaps because there is another method of  
resolving this that I'm not familiar with).

If you force Horde/IMP to use cookies, your problem should go away.    
We had no real issue with forcing people to cookies with our users,  
overall.
