Hi,

I think in general this structure looks well, from the point of view of K=
Mail,=20
besides this LDAP issue.

I don't know, which KDE developer shall have spread the rumour, that Open=
LDAP=20
would have a bad performance.
I personally just tried to point out, that there appear design limitation=
s, as=20
soon as someone tries to implement LDAP over SSL or TLS, and the TCPSlave=
Base=20
class can't deal with the network socket directely like that works for al=
l=20
other network protocols used in KDE. Then it would be neccessary to imple=
ment=20
all SSL related GUI interactions again which would work automatically if=20
TCPSlaveBase would be used like for all other protocols.

Yes, LDAP over SSL seems to be beyond the =C4gypten project, but I wonder=
 what a=20
reusable component is worth then, if it has a serious design limitation a=
nd it=20
is already officially planned before the project is started, that it migh=
t be=20
rewritten later.

Also I wonder, are really all LDAP queries from KMail supposed to go thro=
ugh=20
GpgME?

Regards,
Michael H=E4ckel
