Hi!

I'm not subscribed, so please CC me!

After finding out I need openldap installed in order for the ldap-io-slave to 
be compiled, I managed to get ldap working in kab.

If I understand correctly, you have to open up the ldap-search dialog and 
search for a person. Then you can add that person to your personal 
address-book or send him a mail.

Is it possible to create a 'virtual' addressbook that is always automatically 
filled with the contacts from an ldap-server? Because I hate it when I have 
to search for each contact before I can view it, rather than having a 
complete listing. That might not be a good idea for people/companies with 
thousands of contacts, but I only have a couple hundred.

I'd like to have that public address-book, where all shared contacts are 
stored on the ldap-server, as well as a private address-book, stored in some 
file or directory on my harddisk. Both address-books should behave the same 
way, though. Whenever I search a contact or a recipient for a mail, I'd like 
both address-books to be searched.

Does kab handle multiple address-books at all? I couldn't find any info on 
that.

Right now, it seems I cannot edit the contacts on an LDAP-server. Will this 
change or is kab supposed to be a read-only client?

thanks a lot!
