Outlook (and most any other mail agent for that matter) can hook into it for address book lookups. You can store non-email related information in the LDAP database (address, phone number, etc.) The only catch is the offline-mode. I do not believe there is one but if you're considering installing MySQL on each machine you could set up a LDAP replicated slave instead. Don't get me wrong, writing a MySQL DB w/ GUI frontend would be more entertaining but this path is already well-traveled.

Local copy of database
I'm creating a database application for a phone directory for my church. People are very concerned about security and would like to run the application locally. Is it possible to distribute a local version of a MySQL database without having to install MySQL on the local machine? Or is there a runtime environment that is easy for non-technical people to utilize? Finally, if anyone has or knows of a good phone directory already. Please point me in the right direction. -- David M.
