| 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 |

| 44 | <description> |
| 45 | <p> |
| 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. |

| 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. |
