Re: Web Mails

we have had the same kind of problem and we solved it by not
caching the urls which include cgi or ? strings.
you should find these lines in squid.conf file and uncomment them
(I think most of the webmail providers use some cgi scripts for access
so this will solve all the problems about them and all the possible
future
problems about pages which use cgi)

acl QUERY urlpath_regex cgi-bin \?
no_cache deny QUERY
