preferences of a user modified with preferences of another user (on 2 different computers)

Last weekend, a customer (USER1) reported that, when he sent an email to
another person, the "From" field was the email of another user (USER2).

I verified his configuration and I saw that his preferences
(.../data/userId.pref) were changed : he had the preferences of USER2.
These two users don't know each other. They were on different computers.

We have :

System redhat Enterprise 4
Squirrelmail 1.4.17
plugins : avelsieve, newmail, quota_usage, quicksave, compatibility

imap server: Cyrus imapd 2.2.12-9
smtp server: postfix 2.2.10-1.2.1.el4_7
web server: Apache 2.0.52-41.ent.2

browser (of the user who sent the mail with the wrong "From" field) :
Firefox 3(he don't remember if he worked on Linux or windows. )

It's the only problem reported since the installation of this version of
squirrelMail : 9 DEC. 2008 and I don't know how I could reproduce it.

Here are all te informations I collected  on our server :

the modification date of the file : USER1.pref was:  Sat, 21 Mar 2009
15:26 (full name, email address and reply_to where modified)

Here are the logs for  USER1 for this day :

USER2 is nearly allways connected to SquirrelMail, he doesn't use
another mail client.

I know that I haven't a lot of informations about his problem for you
but I wanted to confirm that this problem of informations merged between
2 users on 2 different computers may happen with squirrelMail 1.4.17

Best regards

Annie
