Address books can save a lot of time and typing. You can put the
7
addresses of people you write most often in them, and reuse them
12
Address books are a great time saving feature. Frequently used
13
addresses may be stored here. LDAP servers (Often used in companies
14
and universities to make organization-wide addresses easily available)
15
are supported as well.
18
If your Browser supports Javascript then you might want to enable the
19
JavaScript based address book under the Options menu item. It is a really
20
nifty little pop-up thing. Pure HTML address lists are supported so
21
even browsers without Javascript support can use SquirrelMail without
33
Put a familiar name here. Something to help jog your memory.
34
Anything that will give you an accurate idea to whom this email
46
This must be the person's fully qualified email address. Guessing here
47
just won't cut it. There are three parts to an email address. First is
48
the recipients identifier, such as "johnq". Next is the domain name
49
section, which could take the form "tayloru". Last comes the top level
50
domain, which could be one of a ton of things like au, cc, us, com, org,
51
net or might look like edu. So if we put all those together it must be
52
in the form of johnq@tayloru.edu. If this is not correct you are likely
53
to get your mail back in the form of a bounced message.
64
This is another field where you can put something to remind you about
65
who this person is. This is made to be longer than the "Nick Name".
66
For instance, if you meet a business contact, you could put "Met at
67
the Tomatoe Symposium".
78
These two buttons allow you to select a single address and then change
79
any of the above fields, or delete the entry entirely. You are only
80
allowed to select one entry at a time for the edit button.
87
Add to Personal address book
91
Fill in the fields as they are listed. The first three (Nickname,
92
E-mail address, and First name) must be filled in. Both Last name and
93
Additional info are optional.
104
LDAP is a protocol for central unified storage and remote access of
105
information. For example; a university might use LDAP as the single
106
place where all students, staff, and faculty email addresses are
107
stored and made available. If configured to use the universities
108
LDAP server, SquirrelMail would then be able to list all campus email
109
address (along with the other address book fields if available).
110
SquirrelMail's LDAP use is truly powerful in that it <I>combines</I>
111
your local address book and the LDAP address server information to
112
present all of the information as if it was a single address book.
114
The LDAP setting may be configured to use any LDAP server, or disabled
115
as a feature altogether. You will need to talk to you system
116
administrator about this feature if you have specific questions.
118
LDAP settings affect the entire SquirrelMail system; as a result they
119
must be set up or altered by someone with administrative authority.
