        Hi,
the field is insensitive when the book doesn't advertise the support
for it or when the loggen in user dowsn't have write access on the LDAP
server. The date is truly meant as a date, not date and time. The usual
vCard format is "1970-06-09" (quotes for clarity only).

Go to the Calendar view and check the "Birthdays & Anniversaries"
calendar. It gathers the information from the selected address books;
right-click the calendar in the Calendar view and pick Properties,
where you can choose which books are included and which not. The same
option is available in the Properties of the respective books.
