Okay, so it's not just me I also would like the auto-complete address to work from my LDAP contact directory. Currently I have to click on the TO:, choose the contact list, search for the person, select the correct find, then complete the address. That is a time killer for me. It would be just as easy to type it. The work-around is to add all the LDAP contacts to the local contacts, but that defeats the whole purpose of an company wide real-time database...
Is the only contact you get teh auto-complete from the local contacts?
