Address books can save a lot of time and typing. You can put the
|
|
addresses of people you write most often in them, and reuse them
|
|
over and over.

Address books are a great time saving feature. Frequently used
|
|
addresses may be stored here. LDAP servers (Often used in companies
|
|
and universities to make organization-wide addresses easily available)
|
|
are supported as well.

If your Browser supports Javascript then you might want to enable the
|
|
JavaScript based address book under the Options menu item. It is a really
|
|
nifty little pop-up thing. Pure HTML address lists are supported so
|
|
even browsers without Javascript support can use SquirrelMail without
|
|
any loss of function.

Anything that will give you an accurate idea to whom this email

address belongs.

Email Address
|
|
</title>
|
|
<description>
|
|
<p>
|
|
This must be the person's fully qualified email address. Guessing here
|
|
just won't cut it. There are three parts to an email address. First is
|
|
the recipients identifier, such as "johnq". Next is the domain name
|
|
section, which could take the form "tayloru". Last comes the top level
|
|
domain, which could be one of a ton of things like au, cc, us, com, org,
|
|
net or might look like edu. So if we put all those together it must be
|
|
in the form of johnq@tayloru.edu. If this is not correct you are likely
|
|
to get your mail back in the form of a bounced message.

|
|
This is another field where you can put something to remind you about
|
|
who this person is. This is made to be longer than the "Nick Name".
|
|
For instance, if you meet a business contact, you could put "Met at
|
|
the Tomatoe Symposium".

LDAP
|
|
</title>
|
|
<description>
|
|
<p>
|
|
LDAP is a protocol for central unified storage and remote access of
|
|
information. For example; a university might use LDAP as the single
|
|
place where all students, staff, and faculty email addresses are
|
|
stored and made available. If configured to use the universities
|
|
LDAP server, SquirrelMail would then be able to list all campus email
|
|
address (along with the other address book fields if available).
|
|
SquirrelMail's LDAP use is truly powerful in that it <i>combines</i>
|
|
your local address book and the LDAP address server information to
|
|
present all of the information as if it was a single address book.
|
|
</p><p>
|
|
The LDAP setting may be configured to use any LDAP server, or disabled
|
|
as a feature altogether. You will need to talk to you system
|
|
administrator about this feature if you have specific questions.
|
|
</p><p>
|
|
LDAP settings affect the entire SquirrelMail system; as a result they
|
|
must be set up or altered by someone with administrative authority.
