Hi All: Is it possible to add a feature to mass import 
all my system users which are in HR to the address 
book. My users would like to compose an email and when 
they choose addresses, would like to see the company 
users. The import should make all users from HR to the 
address book public and it would automatically fill in 
the email address field with address@hidden It 
would also create a category and add these users to 
it, maybe a group called system-users?

I noticed the import single user from HR to my address 
book doesn't add the email address. Also it makes me 
the owner so if I start adding all the users in this 
manor, it would not look presentable to the end-users 
to see me as the owner. I could of course create a 
user called system and do this but still yet it's a 
long process with 300+ users. The above solution would 
work out very nice. My users are very used to exchange 
but when the system crashed and the now terminated 
admin realized that the open file option was not 
configured, well you can guess what happened to 4 
years of mail boxes and address books. I seized the 
opportunity to present SuSE eMail Server3.1 and phpgw. 
Installation of phpgw on my Redhat 7.3 box was 
painless. Except for the feature requests, the users 
have no complaints. Thumbs up to you all, this is a 
great program ;)
