>From Neomail to Horde
If you had entries in your Addressbook in NeoMail it is a pretty easy
process to import them into Horde.
1. Log into the account using an FTP program and download the addressbook
from the .neomail-emailuser/cpanelusername folder that is in your root
folder and save them to your computer.
2. Go to Horde and click on Organizing then Address Book.
3. Click on the Import/Export icon at the top.
4. Using the comma delimited format browse for the file on your computer
and follow the steps and it should work fine.

After writing up how to import the Addressbook from Neomail to Horde now
whether it is possible with SquirrelMail since
SquirrelMail does not have an import option enabled.
It is possible and fairly easy to do. Neomail only has two fields in the
addressbook, the nickname and the email address.
SquirrelMail has five fields and the order is Nickname, First Name, Last
Name, email address, and Other Info. Here are the
steps to copy your addresses over:
1. Download the Neomail address book by using an FTP program and going to
.neomail-emailuser/cpanelusername. The file is
called addressbook.
2. Edit the file in a text editor. Change the colon to three bars, i.e.
find : and replace with |||.
command is # replace “:” “|||” — addressbook
3. Save the file to a folder called .sqmaildata in your root folder to a
file in the form of emailuser@yourTCHdomain.com.abook.
(You can overwrite the file that is there if you have not stored addresses
in SquirrelMail since it will create an empty
file by default.)
That’s it. You should have your addresses in SquirelMail now.
Please note that this only works in the SquirrelMail that is accesses by
using /webmail after the domain name or accessed
through your CPanel.
If you need the addressbook in the installation accessed by adding /sqmail
at the end of your domain you would need to
log in using /webmail, perform the steps above.
