Squirrelmail Addressbook

[ChicoLance]

I've been trying several setups to be able to read my email both at home and work. I like the control I've got by having my email at TCH, instead of forwarding to Yahoo or GMail. However, I can't IMAP through the work firewall or access any ports besides 80, so for remote access, I've got SquirrelMail. (Somehow accessing IMAP through port 80 would be wonderfull, BTW).

 

So the question: once I put addresses in the SquirrelMail address book, I have no idea where they're stored. I've tryed FTPing into my account to get and access the file (the SquirrelMail interface stinks for the addressbook), but I can't find it. Is it somewhere where I can edit it with a text editor?

 

Thanks.

Still looking for an answer -- searching the forums hasn't turned anything up.

Look above your public_html folder

in the folder .sqmaildata

look for name@domain.ext.abook

its a text file

with the format

nick|firstname|lastname|email|additionalinfo

 

be sure your ftp program is set to show hidden files

or use filemanager to view/edit.

Ok just download my Squirrelmail address book

And added several names in a text editor.

It worked just fine.

 

if you skip a field

be sure to add all 4 | seperators.

If you access SquirrelMail using /webmail after your domain then the addressbook is in the .sqmaildata. If you are accessing it using /sqmail (to go through port 80) the data directory where your addressbook is stored is not accessible. There are two installations of Squirrelmail and the addressbooks are separate.
