I have to agree. ldap lookups work for me, but it's schetchy. The only real reason why I want to have an ldap source configured is because I'd like to have it autocomplete. Netscape 4.x/Mozilla/Netscape 6.x both do this from ldap sources very nicely. We don't use Exchange/Outlook here, but the look/feel features of Evo are much nicer than any other Gnome email client, so that's why I use it. With more than 4000 people here, and email addresses being [EMAIL PROTECTED] it's a big pain to have to memorize addresses.
