General pane:
      * Server name: your server
      * Log in method: Using distinguished name (DN)
      * Distinguished name: DOMAIN\username

Connecting:
      * Port number: 3268, or 3269 if you need to use SSL. This is the
        "Global Catalog", which is nicer to use than the default LDAP
        port, because (a) you don't need to worry about the search base,
        and (b) it includes other domains in your company as well.

Searching:
      * Search base: you can leave this blank if you're using the Global
        Catalog port. If your local AD server doesn't have a Global
        Catalog replica (and so doesn't answer on port 3268/3269), you
        can use the default LDAP port there, but then you need to set
        the search base here. But it should be able to find the right
        one for you automatically via "Show Supported Bases".
      * Search scope: Sub

Now, having said all that, it seems that there's a bug in the code right
now... if you set Search scope to "Sub", it gets saved as "Base"
instead, and so it doesn't work. But if you quit evolution and edit
~/evolution/addressbook-sources.xml by hand to fix that, it should work.
