Hello Robin,

I just looked more into the ldap documentation (I never did before!).
It's much more which is needed than just a few tweaks.
KAddressbook and especially the LDIF-export filter is more targetted at import and \
export of addresses to other mail applications, like e.g. Netscape, Mozilla Mail and \
Outlook. For ldap you need specific schemas, and I don't know how this fits into \
KAddressbooks main goal to provide just an addressbook with import/export filters for \
(external) contacts. I would propose that you open an KDE bugzilla wishlist item \
(http://bugs.kde.org) against KAddressbook. If you do, please add me to CC. Maybe a \
better solution can be realized later and that way it will not be forgotten.

Best regards,
Helge

PS: I do have a basic patch to fix your list above, but as said, this will not be \
enough. _______________________________________________
