I have to agree. ldap lookups work for me, but it's schetchy. The only real reason why I want to have an ldap source configured is because I'd like to have it autocomplete. Netscape 4.x/Mozilla/Netscape 6.x both do this from ldap sources very nicely. We don't use Exchange/Outlook here, but the look/feel features of Evo are much nicer than any other Gnome email client, so that's why I use it. With more than 4000 people here, and email addresses being firstname middleinitial lastname grc nasa gov it's a big pain to have to memorize addresses.
Amen! LDAP sorta-kinda works, occasionally, but certainly not reliably. And autocompletion doesn't work at all (in fact, it usually hangs the mail client when I try and use it!). And at least y'all at NASA have a naming convention for email addresses! Here at HP, the corporate LDAP database contains over 200k unique people and distribution list email addresses, and none of them use a naming convention. I just use a shell script around ldapsearch to lookup email addresses, then manually copy & paste 'em into evolution. The LDAP functionality in evo is not even remotely usable here. Like others, I also find that, in contrast, the Netscape/Mozilla LDAP autocompletion feature works quite nicely and reliably. I still use evo, since it is quite an excellent email client in almost every other way, but I sure wish the LDAP stuff worked.
