Is it possible to store user contact/ address book in imap server?

[Ted Fines]

What  you want is the IMSP server (also a Cyrus project).  It is a remote 
preferences and address book server.  With it, users can access their 
address books from anywhere.  The remote preferences aspect of it preserves 
their interface customizations so they get the same look & feel wherever 
they login from, and allows sysadmins to do a great deal of 
preconfiguration.

You may hear about ACAP.  Forget that, and setup IMSP.

You'll need a client that supports IMSP.  Few do.  Execmail is one, but 
I've never used it.  The only other one I know of is Mulberry 
(http://www.cyrusoft.com), but it is an excellent email client.
