Re: [Evolution] Import from csv

["Patrick O'Callaghan" <poc usb ve>]

Just for completeness, it's worth pointing out that there are two places
where limits might apply to the number of LDAP entries searched:

1) Within Evo, the LDAP config can specify Max Entries and Max Timeout.

2) The LDAP *server* can limit the number of records returned in
response to a query. This often happens if the query is anonymous, to
limit address harvesting. We limit our server to 20 records for this
reason, which works fine for address completion but not so well for
arbitrary contact lookup.
