I'd like to second Daniel's desire to have centralized address book storage that RoundCube accesses as a client. We support multiple web and desktop email clients, so our user base would benefit from more address book interoperability. Right now we have RC setup to read our public LDAP directory and use some custom kungfoo to read/write to a Horde/IMP address book. However, in the longer term, we're looking into using a read/write ldap backend that all our supported clients could use.
Best, Ziba
