Yes both Fedora Core 3 and Debian are compiled with --with-openldap=yes.
Is there another option necessary?

Are you talking about the toolbar in Tools->Settings or another one?
In Tools->Settings, I only have:
        - Mail accounts
        - Autocompletion
        - Mail preferences
        - Composer preferences
        - Calendar and Tasks
        - Certificates
