See ldap_abook plugin

Current squirrelmail ldap backend does not support writeable personal
address books.

vanilla SquirrelMail supports own csv format (read + write, personal and
shared), any database supported by PHP pear (read + write, personal and
shared) and LDAP (read only, shared). I think other email programs support
own format, LDAP and import of other formats.
