This is ok for OS-level groups, but not for grouping addresses. How will you be able to integrate this with other Email clients?
Also, why do you want address-entries into multiple groups? I fail to see the use-case for this.
I play hockey with a co-worker, so I want to have him in two groups: hockey team and after-work-beer group. Anyone with overlaping friend groups will have plenty of similar situations.
Ok, I tend to use mail-lists for this, but groups as described can be used to generate groups like that. Except that then this method will only be usable from Roundcube and as said, I tend to prefer a desktop client whenever I can.
But "grouping" contacts in LDAP-based addressbooks tend to be mostly based on the fact that there are "global" addresses and "private" addresses.
I use webmail when I'm accessing my email from a remote machine, but when I'm at home, I use a desktop email client. I do need to be able to use this client with the LDAP-tree as well.
This should be a requirement, for a "propietary" solution we already have RC Address Book. Right now I have some scripting to do RC's mysql to LDAP sync, which is a bad solution.
True, and for that requirement to be possible, I do think basing the layout on existing howtos for other products is the easier solution.
If I want to use proprietary solutions, I wouldn't be using Open Source.
