Yes.  They are session management data files and they are a normal part of
running Squirrelmail.  It's a feature of PHP that makes it easy to store
data related to a user as the user accesses multiple pages in an
application.  See http://www.php.net/manual/en/ref.session.php for more
details.  When a user clicks "Sign Out" the session will be destroyed and
the file will be deleted.  If the user doesn't sign out the file will stay
there so you may want to write a script to periodically purge the sess*
files with a timestamp more than X days old.
