Steps on machine with IE7:
1) Open a window of IE7
2) Go to http://mail.yahoo.com and log in to Yahoo! Mail (or any mail) using user name XYZ
3) Open other window of IE7
4) Go to http://mail.yahoo.com and login page appears, I am able to logged in to Yahoo! Mail using user name KLM.
5) I am able to simultaneously check my mails on both accounts XYZ and KLM using the same browser IE7
Steps on machine with IE8:
1) Open a window of IE8
2) Go to http://mail.yahoo.com and log in to Yahoo! Mail (or any mail) using user name XYZ
3) Open other window of IE8
4) Go to http://mail.yahoo.com and login page appears, I logged in to Yahoo! Mail using user name KLM.
5) Now, if I go to previous window in which I was logged into Yahoo! Mail from XYZ and refresh that window, I am automatically logged into Yahoo! Mail from KLM in that window as well.
How is the behavior different in both the browsers for same steps?
Another Query:
1) I logged into Yahoo! Mail using XYZ on IE 7
2) Delete cookies
3) Refresh the IE7 window in which I am logged in using XYZ
4) I remain logged into XYZ
Similarly, if I follow the same behavior using IE8, I am logged out of XYZ.
How is this possible? Behavior of IE8 looks correct to me.
I know that this is because of cookies and IE 8/Firefox is doing correct. My query is regarding IE 7?

This may be due to how IE 7 handles sessions for the same application.
This discussion may help: http://software-test...nd-mozilla.html
For IE7,different windows corresponds to differenr sessions for same application but different tabs under the same window for same application corresponds to same session.
BTW, is this the same computer we are working on? http://forums.whatth...mp;#entry684529

The above cannot be the case as this is about tabbed browsing although it may seem similar but in my case, there is no tabbed browsing. I am talking about two different Yahoo! account opened in different windows of IE7 and IE8 behaving differently.

For what I understood on the first quote, it says there that there are different sessions or instances if you may for the same application when run it in different IE 7 browsers, hence the behavior that you are describing.
Exmaple, when you open Yahoo! Mail on IE 7 it assigns a unique value to Yahoo! Mail as a determining factor, like assigning a value 1 to it. Now, when you open another IE 7 instance and open Yahoo! Mail, it would then again assign another unique value, a value of 2 for example.
But this does not happen in IE 8 as it assigns only a single session value to the same application even if you open another instance of IE 8 and Y Mail in it.
This is only my understanding on the matter.
