The location of the session files is controlled by php not phpgw. You
should set the tmp dir to /home/<user>/tmp, this is used for email

It looks like your host does not allow you to use the php_value
directives in your .htaccess :( Maybe hassle them about it. If they
need it explained to them, give them my email address and I will try to
not call them stupid ;)
