What you describe is exactly how it works.  I have exactly the same issue 
here at OSU.  Our directory server will only return 200 entries at a time, 
and I also set the sizelimit to 200 in my sources file (redundant, but for 
completeness sake).

I am a little confused by part of what you say...  You would like users to 
be able to browse (list all entries) from within Turba itself, but you do 
NOT want a blank search in IMP's address book tool to return all entries?

I can certainly agree that it would be nice to disable the blank search in 
IMP's address book tool.  Inevitably, the unlucky first 200 people 
returned in that search get spammed by our users that want to send email 
to everyone at OSU (thank god we limit it to 200!).  We already disable 
browse on this source in Turba.  A blank search within Turba returns no 
results.  It would be nice if a blank search from IMP's address book tool 
did the same.
