Hi,

Thank you for the answer. It did not help me unfortunately. I still can't get 
any addresses from the LDAP source. Now I am only using the KDE Controll 
centre setting. (which I must at that one can use user/password login)

On my other laptop I'm still running SuSE 9.0 with KDE 3.1 and as far as I can 
see they are equally set up. On the KDE 3.1 box, everything works as normal, 
but on the KDE 3.2 I only get the recent addresses used.

Is there any way I can check that the ldapkio resource is working other that 
KMail?

Is there any way I can "trace" what is going on when I write a new address in 
the address field to see if KMail ties to use the ldapkio resource?

regards birger.....
