You wil be asked to login, using the password set in

of the phpGroupWare database you have installed, and upgrade to the most recent
version.

> stale_uploads.pl - This will delete file attachments for messages that where not
completed. If a users browser crashes, Internet connection dies, etc, their
files will sit there forever unless deleted. You could add a few lines to
logout.php that will look in the temp directory for any stale uploads and delete
them. But, once again, it becomes a performance issue.
