To Manage Session Timeouts in Roundcube
---------------------------------------

By default, Roundcube does not time out in the browser. However, session timeout
settings can be added. 

#. Log in to the server at the CLI as root, either via SSH or from the terminal
#. At the CLI, run the following to edit the Roundcube setting template--this will 
   prevent the changes from being overwritten upon update: 

   .. code-block::

      ~iworx/bin/config.pex --customize-template mail/roundcube-config.tpl --for-global

#. Add the following. This will define a session timeout in minutes:

   .. code-block::
 
      // In Minutes 
      $rcmail_config['session_lifetime'] = 10;

#. Save the file and exit the template editor
