Thanks Neil.
Clear as mud at this stage, but I got some good starting points to have
a read of.
I didn't understand what to put in Base DN in Thunderbird.
But I see I have to set up the base setting in the ldap.conf first?
I"m guessing it's dc=bowenvale, dc=pointclark, dc=net
then the base dn in thunderbird becomes 'bowenvale'
What is a 'DN'?
Cheers Don

i'm not recommending LDAP, but i like to use it. i had trouble
migrating contacts from one mail program to another so i put them in
LDAP instead. i probably use only a tiny proportion of the LDAP feature
set but i hope that having my contacts accessible via a standard will
make switching e-mail clients easier in the future. i put up some
notes:

I noticed support for ldap directory services while rebuilding a number
of systems and installing thunder bird on them all.
I now have my mail set up so that it's all on the server but contact
lists are getting lost on each machine and we don't have anyway of
sharing contact. In the past I just used exchange server.
Is LDAP what I'm after?
Does anyone know much about this that they can advise me?
Webmin on my cc box has a place holder but nothing seems to be installed.
I'm doing a bit of reading on the cc web site but don't want to spend
hours reading up on something that's not the right thing.
Cheers Don
