Hi,

Yesterday morning i open gmail account in Internet Exlorer second tab. I checked my mail and closed that tab (not browser).

Then at the time of evining i again open second tab of browser and enetr gmail.com, it automatically redirect me at my email account without asking login.

I shocked and i thought i should remain browser open for whole night and today open gmail in second tab , it behave similar means without login screen it redirect in my gmail account.

Then i closed that tab and open another browser session and enter gmail i again surprised that i redirect me login page. At the same time i open second tab of first browser and it automatically redirect me at mail account page.

What i councluded by this behaviour is that might be gmail server keep my browser id at their server so that whenever i eneter gmail.com on second tab of first browser, it automatically redirect me at gmail account. I don't know i am right or not?

Please clear me this concept? What happens with my session at gmail server when i closed my browser tab?

As per my opinion it should automatically logout me but why this doesn't happened?
