You right with LDAP. There's LDAP access implemented but only for searching and copying to the local address book. I think we should not only rely on LDAP only because not everybody has set up an LDAP server to access it. A local address book should be part of the package and used by default. Maybe we could add some more abstraction that would let us replace the local address book with an existing LDAP account just by configuration. Nevertheless we need to implement a user interface for address management that complies the expectations of a RoundCube user.
Unfortunately I don't have access to an LDAP directory which makes it impossible for me work on that or even to make some concrete suggestions.

I did hesitate to send this, for the sole reason that it proposes additional requirements; but isn't LDAP designed to do exactly what is wanted here? In fact, I was under the (perhaps incorrect) impression that someone was already making progress on an LDAP address book feature. This also has the additional benefit that it can be made compliant with using LDAP address books on userland software (ie: Outlook, Thunderbird, etc.).
Unless I miss something, that would provide exactly those features that are being requested.
