They use the php session management... What they do is destroy the session on 
logout and every page you load checks first if you have a session and if not, 
then they kick you back to the login screen... So once you clicked log out, 
your session stops existing and you'll get kicked to the login page once you 
use the back button... just grep for session in the squirrelmail src dir...

If you want more info about php session handling there is a good url at
