            Bug ID: 123575
        Issue Type: TASK
           Summary: Drop Seamonkey provided address books
           Product: General
           Version: 4.0.0
          Hardware: All
                OS: All
            Status: CONFIRMED
          Severity: normal
          Priority: P3
         Component: code
          Assignee: issues@openoffice.apache.org
          Reporter: h...@apache.org
                CC: issues@openoffice.apache.org
        Depends on: 62370, 85356, 91079, 116901

With issue 122365 the AOO dependency on ancient Seamonkey binaries is removed
for AOO's security features. The Seamonkey binaries are still being used for
providing some address books but these facilities are seriously outdated and
often don't work anymore:
Bug 85356: authenticated LDAP didn't work since 2008
Bug 62370: Outlook/Windows address books containing Distribution lists don't
work
Bug 91079: Outlook/Windows address books didn't work after WinXP

The address book integration for Evolution 1.x used the Seamonkey binary, but
Evolution 2.0 and newer which has been released in 2004 uses a newer
integration that doesn't depend on mozab. According to bug 116901 even this
newer driver named evoab2 seems to need an update.
