Dieter,

You've written all that to help some poor b*gg*r whilst your conclusion
is completely wrong:

> That is not a bug in evolution but a matter of your ldap server's
> access configuration.

It's a rotten, filthy, great big bug in Evolution which stops Evolution
ever competing with Microsoft Outlook and it's all Ximian's fault (no
Ximian names, no Ximian pack drill.) 

There is namely *nothing* wrong with the server, or any other Exchange
server, it follows rfcs 2222 et sequitur to the letter.

Best,

Tony
