You can find it in SquirrelMail data directory with user-login-name.abook name. Location of data directory is set in SquirrelMail configuration. $data_dir option in config/config.php. Compare user's address book with other working address books. If it is not read only and permissions don't restrict your webserver user from writing, then some process locked out this file. Probably after some address book modification failure. If file is locked, rename it and copy data to new address book file. Address book is in custom csv format. You can read it in Notepad, but file uses Unix style line endings and you might have to use other text editor. Wordpad or Notepad++. If you edit address book manually, backup original data. If you make mistake and break file format, SquirrelMail won't load that address book. If your setup has more than one address book, make sure that user's login name does not match name used for global address book file. -- Tomas -- View this message in context: http://old.nabble.com/Address-book-is-read-only-tp31846611p31848677.html Sent from the squirrelmail-users mailing list archive at Nabble.com. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ EditLive Enterprise is the world's most technically advanced content authoring tool.
