Well, that's not what we have in mind here. :)

We use what you're talking about now so that users can search our current
LDAP directory for entries.

What I mean my personal address book is take what is stored on disk (Or
database) on a per user basis, and move it completely into LDAP. Each line
in the flat file would then correspond to a single LDAP record accessible
to that user only (Just like the flat file is now). Only the number of
fields supported would probably grow to include vCard support as well as
being able to assign individual entries to user-definable groups.

Think of Yahoo Addressbook, or a standalone PIM's contact storage.

The added benefit for us would be that not only could SquirrelMail be able
to add/delete/edit this addressbook, but other email clients here at
Cornell could also (Eg: Our portal email client).

Does that help?
