Re: [Evolution] LDAP Address Book Setup

[Anders Näslund <anders naslund adcore com>]

Tony,

i can agree on number 1 issue.
The rest...have no idea what You talk about.
I use an LDAP server (our company MS Exchange 5.5 to be exact) to do all
my look-ups. If I click the LDAP entry in the sidebar, I get the same
look and feel (and function) as my local contacts.
What else do You need??
