thanks to Daniel Marczisovszky Squirrelmail now has a plugin that works as a
generic database backend (starting from a backend template by Tomas Kuliavas),
so no changes are needed to SM's UI (quite unlike most other plugins).
http://daniel.marczisovszky.hu/projects/squirrelmail/ldap_abook_backend/

you can configure just about anything wrt objectclasses, attributes, where
it end's up in you DIT, etc. to my knowledge that makes it the first completely
configureable MUA with full LDAP write support (even though it's webbased).

Daniel also created a generic config backend for SM that stores settings in
LDAP, based on the work of Alexandros Vellis of UoA, Greece:
