Here is a problem that I've been facing for a while too ;-(

Adding an LDAP server in Thunderbird, basically all Mozilla releases
from 1.x.x. and up were giving the same result ..You add the LDAP server
and it will not show up in the end.No errors or anything ..
In my case the LDAP server in question is, Netscape's / Sun Iplanet..

I tested on different machines with different versions of X and window
managers...all on gentoo..same result..

I ended up using Netscape 7.2 which did work ..

Now I've recently installed the thunderbird-bin package from portage and
guess what .. IT WORKS !!!

I tried the source package ..and no luck.,..You would start to think
that it is not compiled in building from source on gentoo.
I did'nt look into it in detail though , so can't really make a
statement on that..

Just my experience with LDAP / Mozilla...

rgds,

Peter
