I guess you'd have to be a Unix sysadmin responsible for configuring and
running his own ldap server to understand that :-)

That's all right with your MS Exchange server. But Ximian has made
add-ons for Unix and Netscape/iPlanet-based directory servers that only
partly work.

Furthermore, any specific Unix openldap stuff (called a "schema") is
only available to people who compile their own sources; no-one else is
told about it. Without it, half the functionality of Evolution isn't
available on Unix ldap servers.

What doesn't work is what I said: Encrypted server connections (because
admin users can carry out limited HR administration over the network
with Evo and no-one should "sniff" what they're doing), and contact
lists. These don't work on Unix ldap servers.

Just the above ...
