These are things that a Groupware suite usually manages as everything is
stored on the server.  However, since I can't connect my calendar, todo,
or Address book to the the Domino server, I agree that this would be
handy for me as well.  I understand the reasoning for not making
Evolution work with this proprietary protocol or another, and I'm not
complaining about that, it would just be nice to have some way of
syncing up my 4 installations of Evolution so that not any one of them
is different.

On the other hand I do agree with the other poster that improving the
LDAP interface is extremely important.
