6 | 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 |
8 | over and over. |

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. |
16 | </p> |
17 | <p> |
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 |
22 | any loss of function. |

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 |
35 | address belongs. |

42 | Email Address |
43 | </title> |
44 | <description> |
45 | <p> |
46 | This must be the persons' fully qualified email address. Guessing here |
47 | just won't cut it. There are three parts to an email address. First is |
6205dc7d |
48 | the recipients identifier, such as "johnq". Next is the domain name |
384c5b78 |
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. |

62 | <description> |
63 | <p> |
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". |

100 | LDAP |
101 | </title> |
102 | <description> |
103 | <p> |
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. |
113 | </p><p> |
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. |
117 | </p><p> |
118 | LDAP settings affect the entire SquirrelMail system; as a result they |
119 | must be set up or altered by someone with administrative authority. |
