the "Global Address List" you see under your contacts list is a dummy.
It was decided to drop the LDAP based GAL when we moved from the
e-d-s/evolution EXCHANGE_MAPI_BRANCH to evolution-mapi module as we
wanted a proper MAPI-based GAL implementation.
Patches are welcome ;-)

In short, evolution-mapi does not have a GAL implemented yet. You can
configure a new addressbook of type LDAP, for your GAL.
