Readers, please note:

Marcelo, you are talking about Exchange Server 2000, is this correct?

Can anyone confirm that all this (esp. the LDAP filtering) works for
Exchange 2003, too? (I am currently not on a KDE system, forgive me!)

BTW, I believe there is some kind of direct Exchange _2000_ support in
KAddressbook. I couldn't get this to work for Exchange 2003 one year
ago, however, as I recall.
