Re: [Davmail-users] KMail and LDAP

[Tim D. <da...@ha...>]

Hi,

depends on what you are looking for.

I am having an Exchange Online/Office 365 backend configured in DavMail
that uses Exchange Web Services (EWS). Kontact is from KDE 4.10 of a
standard OpenSuse 12.3 installation.

Doing searches for addresses in the Exchange global address book works but
autocompletion in the TO:,CC:,BCC: fields does not although this is
configurable.
I think there is a known limitation/bug:
https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=318081

So from my understanding you should only get search feature and
autocompletion from LDAP as an online source. There should not be any
syncing to local caches, etc.

To test if search is working do the following:

1.) Create new email message
2.) click "SELECT" button behind TO: text field
3.) Opening window shows local resources and below there is a button
"SEARCH DIRECTORY SERVICE". CLick it.
4.) Search for a name you definitely know is not in any of your local
resources
5.) If found, your LDAP is working.

Btw, my DavMail LDAP setup us nothing but configuring a port and telling
Kmail to connect to it on localhost. Of course, you need to be sure your
DavMail backend system is working.
What is your backend and what services are you connecting to?

Regards
Tim
