Maybe I didn't explain my self that well.. Is it possilbe to let outlook client update ldap server (used as addressbook) by him self, or must he use an external solution for this issue. If an external program is needed, is it possible to do it using imap public folders?
I'm using RH7.3 with the distribution imap server.

There is a thing called "public folders" in the imap specs (IIRC). It is the #public namespace. If you use wu-imapd than it defaults to the home directory of the user "public". You can change it by patching the source, or by using the unsupported feature of the c-client config file. Here is a variation of my file: $ cat /etc/c-client.cf I accept the risk of using UW-imapd # Any line that does not begin with an 's' is a remark # This one is actually a default #set allow-user-config 0 # This will avoid the need of setting the clients to use ~/mail/ set mail-subdirectory mail set public-home-directory /var/imapd/public/ This would give you a public file folder available to the imap client. Whether or not this is useful, I'm not sure... There are other imap servers, mind you. -- Tzafrir Cohen mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.technion.ac.il/~tzafrir ================================================================= To unsubscribe, send mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with the word "unsubscribe" in the message body, e.g., run the command echo unsubscribe | mail [EMAIL PROTECTED]
