Hi, Evolution seems to satisfy most of my requirements for an email client. The one thing that I cannot do satisfactorily is automatic address completion from an LDAP server. I maintain my entire personal addressbook on an LDAP server (which works beautifully with evo's capabilities for writing to LDAP servers). I have added the "unsupported" magic required to turn on LDAP auto-completion to my config.xmldb. But, it doesn't quite work flawlessly yet. I know that this is not a supported feature, but if one of the evo developers have some insight into when they expect to be able to officially support it, I'd love to know.
One of the problems I experience with the current LDAP address completion setup is that it makes the address entry process seem sluggish. As far as I can tell, at some point while I am typing in an address or name in the To: (or Cc:) field, evo goes out and queries the LDAP server. But that process seems non-deterministic, and at least part of it seems to be a blocking operation since it causes the entry field to stop accepting keystrokes for a brief period. A "better" (in my opinion :) method may be to query the LDAP server only when the user presses an explicit key (such as <Return> as in Netscape Communicator, or Ctl-K in Outlook Express). This isn't the most elegant solution, but it prevents unnecessary queries to the server, and allows the user to know explicitly whether the system is interacting with the LDAP server or not. Just my 2 cents... Yatin _______________________________________________ evolution maillist - [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://lists.ximian.com/mailman/listinfo/evolution
