Amen! LDAP sorta-kinda works, occasionally, but certainly not
reliably. And autocompletion doesn't work at all (in fact, it usually
hangs the mail client when I try and use it!). And at least y'all at
NASA have a naming convention for email addresses! Here at HP, the
corporate LDAP database contains over 200k unique people and
distribution list email addresses, and none of them use a naming
convention. I just use a shell script around ldapsearch to lookup email
addresses, then manually copy & paste 'em into evolution. The LDAP
functionality in evo is not even remotely usable here. Like others, I
also find that, in contrast, the Netscape/Mozilla LDAP autocompletion
feature works quite nicely and reliably. I still use evo, since it is
quite an excellent email client in almost every other way, but I sure
wish the LDAP stuff worked.
