What is needed however is you reloading the application in your browser to make the change reach your session.
Thanks. I guess it refreshed when I logged in again this morning. Let's see what happens tomorrow morning...

No change.

@jdaviescoates is uBlock Origin blocking any cookies?
-
@necrevistonnezr hah, thanks!
That's quite likely it I guess.
Thought I'd turned uBlock off for all my own domain but I've moved this Roundcube install around a bit so I guess not!
Have turned it off now, hopefully that'll help...

$rcmail_config['session lifetime‘] = 10080;
If I'm not mistaken, there's a typo in that code. After LIFETIME, the ending ' seems to be something else.
-
@humptydumpty yeah, when I pasted it in to the terminal it was clear (because of the code highlight) it wasn't correct so I replaced it with a ' - but thanks for pointing that out in case that was the issue

You‘re right! I had fiddled with that post on the iPhone - quite a hassle. I corrected it now in the post above for future reference.

@jdaviescoates I realise this is not the direction of most replies/solutions, but if the programmatic approach does not deliver, on my Mac I have a utility which responds to triggers like laptop shut and fires off an action. I'm sure Windows has similar. Although the execution action may be a bit brutal (close app).
Just a thought.

@timconsidine thanks. I'm on Ubuntu, but probably stuff on here too I could try if my turning off uBlock doesn't help...

Well, turning off uBlock Origin and Privacy Badger hasn't helped at all.
I posted an issue on the Roundcube github too and they've just replied saying "this is not supported" and closed it
https://github.com/roundcube/roundcubemail/issues/8504
So perhaps I'm trying to achieve something which isn't possible yet
Sigh. The state of open source webmail is so abysmal is makes me sad.

@jdaviescoates Yeah, Alexander is not very helpful - though you gave him a location for the config that is non-standard and Cloudron specific (/app/data/ something).
Again, I use Roundcube everyday on my work computer and the session is kept alive even between reboots with the config described above...
Is it browser related (is it Firefox?) - maybe try a different one? A setting that deletes cookies from time to time? -
@jdaviescoates Facing same issue.

I just played around with this again and this seems to be working for me:
$config['session lifetime'] = '10080';
It's unclear if
$rcconfig
or just$config
should be used or if either would work, but the latter, i.e. just$config
, appears to be working for me.Also in previous attempts I was missing the
'
s around the10080
, and from the formatting of other settings in thecustomconfig.php
I figured I'd try'10080'
and then it worked. -

@jdaviescoates
$config
is the correct variable name. -

$config
is the correct variable name.Well, for some values, it seems that
$rcmail_config
is correct…As said before, for me
$rcmail_config['session_lifetime'] = 10080;
works?!

I just looked up roundcube code and it seems $rcmail_config and $config are just aliases. https://github.com/roundcube/roundcubemail/blob/01b7dbd1a75bd712f4cac69f5aa421b049dd5d8b/program/include/rcmail_install.php#L159 says $rcmail_config is the deprecated name.

You can say that again! Recent updates to Roundcube have broken logging in without an error and the CalDAV connection.

I have neither of these issues on current Roundcube with Safari or Edge. No errors logging in and I’m staying logged in. What browser are you using?

Firefox. But pretty sure I've tested in Chromium before too.
The other issues have been resolved by updated the CalDAV plugin but I still get logged out of email whenever I close my laptop lid.
