Well compared to the previous style, this is considered crude. What is the other method? Are you referencing the 1.4.x method? I kinda like that. Users get to specify a per-folder basis.

There's the additional overhead of setting up a IMAP server. I think I can go to the dovecot path it, being less hassle to set-up but given the choice, I think I will go to postfix+cyrus. (right now it's sendmail)
So, it would be mroe crude then.

If thats the case, I might really not have an option since it's a company LDAP directory. The thing is, in 1.4.x it shows the full name when I do a search in the GAL,(addressbook) but in 2.0 it doesn't show up as that.
Did you file a bug?
