Proposal

This bug report is related to the session error/auto timeout function. If the session times out and Roundcube goes back to the login screen, the username is not remembered. I'd like to request that Roundcube remember and repopulate the username after login timeout. I'm agnostic as to whether this is default behaviour, enabled via an option in global config, or enabled via a per-user option in user settings. I note that phpMyAdmin does this by default.

Motivation and context

I have Roundcube installed under a hostname that includes several other services with different usernames. Consequently, when I open the main Roundcube URL, Firefox doesn't know which account to select from my saved usernames and passwords. To get round this, I've bookmarked Roundcube with the additional parameter ?_user=foo, which gets Roundcube to prepopulate the username, and with this extra information Firefox is then able to put in the correct saved password. The upshot is that I can just open my bookmark and then press Enter to log in immediately. (Yes, I'm lazy, but I log in frequently and appreciate the convenience!)

Busy users sometimes also just forget their user name. (Don't laugh, real-life experience...)
