 <p>
 SquirrelMail supports multiple address book backends. Backends can be
-configured to provide address books that store entries visible to one user
-or to group of users or to all users that use same SquirrelMail installation.
+configured to provide access to address books that store entries visible
+to one user or to group of users or to all users that use the same
+SquirrelMail installation.
 
-SquirrelMail supports own flat file format, database supported by PHP Pear
-DB libraries and LDAP.
+SquirrelMail comes with support for address books in its own flat file format,
+any database supported by the PHP Pear DB abstraction layer (see <url
+url="http://pear.php.net/manual/en/package.database.db.intro-dsn.php">)
+and LDAP.
 
-LDAP address books are readonly and listing of addresses is available only
-when users search for address.
+LDAP address books are read-only in SquirrelMail versions until 1.5.2. In
+version 1.5.2 and up, you can configure a writeable LDAP address book. The
+listing of addresses in a LDAP directory is available only when users search
+for addresses unless the <tt>listing</tt> configuration attribute is set for
+the LDAP server in SquirrelMail 1.5.2 and above or you add the following to
+the <tt>config/config_local.php</tt> file in SquirrelMail versions 1.4.23 to
+(but not including) 1.5.0:
 
+<tscreen><verb>
+$ldap_abook_allow_listing = TRUE;
+</verb></tscreen>
+
+In earlier versions, you'd need to make a small change to the
+<tt>functions/abook_ldap_server.php</tt> file in the <tt>list_addr()</tt>
+function near the bottom of the file (see instructions in the comments for
+that function). NOTE: you should exercise caution enabling the listing of
+large or public LDAP address book backends. Also note that the <tt>maxrows</tt>
+configuration setting for the LDAP server will limit the number of entries
+that are returned when listing it.

 Global address book is address book that can be shared between users. Global
 address books can be configured in SquirrelMail since 1.4.4 version. Before
 than admin had to modify functions/addressbook.php file. There is a typo in
