How to use shared file based address book in squirrelmail.

1. Get SquirrelMail 1.4.4, 1.4.5cvs, 1.5.1cvs or later.

2. If you want to use writable address book in 1.4.4, get patch that fixes
address book form.

http://cvs.sf.net/viewcvs.py/squirrelmail/squirrelmail/src/addressbook.php?r1=1.58.2.16&r2=1.58.2.17

3. Create address book file. SquirrelMail address book uses CSV format
with | symbol as delimiter.

first field is nickname
second field - name
third field - surname
forth field - email
fifth field - additional information

for example:

test|Testname|Testsurname|[EMAIL PROTECTED]|testinfo

4. If you want writable address book, file must be writable by webserver
user.

5. After you created address book file, go to SquirrelMail configuration
utility, select 6. Address Books option and configure address book in 3. 
Global file address book.

If you enter only address book file name, system assumes that address book
is in data directory. For example: global_abook. If you use data directory
to store global address book, remember that personal address books use
.abook suffix. You should not use global address book file with same
suffix, unless you understand what you are doing.

If you enter full path, system uses full path. For example:
/var/lib/squirrelmail/global_abook

If your configuration option contains slashes, but does not look like full
path, system assumes path relative to squirrelmail top directory.

If you want to use global file based address book in older squirrelmail
versions, take a look at functions/addressbook.php file. It contains some
comments that explain how to do that without configuration utility.
