as I saw from your next post, you already figured out, that if you apply
the patch the missing attributes are showing up in the address book.

Yes, that's right - as long as you have checked:
Preferences -> Mail & Newsgroups -> Addressing -> Address Autocompletion
- Directory Server "MyLDAPServer"
> How can I browse all records in LDAP via Address Book? ( It requires
some filter to search )
I'm not totally sure what you mean. Actually there are two filters for
LDAP.
One limits what is actually displayed in the Address Book (Preferences
-> Mail & Newsgroups -> Addressing -> Edit Directories... ->
"MyLDAPServer"-Edit - Advanced -> Search filter:)
You could set it to (objectclass=*) which would return all entries as
long as you don't exceed the 'Max results' counter. Both client (default
100) and Server are having such a limit.
To get "all" entries back from LDAP you have to enter a '*' in address
books search filed "Name or Email contains:". Nonetheless you only get
as much results back as limited by the 'max result' counter.
The second filter defines what attributes are used to search through
when you make an address lookup, composing an email. I think for the
time being it can only be set/changed by making an entry in the
'prefs.js'-file. The entry is:
user_pref("mail.addr_book.quicksearchquery.format",
"?(and(Department,c,*)(or(PrimaryEmail,c,@V)(DisplayName,c,@V)(FirstName,c,@V)(LastName,c,@V)(NickName,c,@V)))");
The above entry is the filter I am using for looking up addresses. It is
extended to use the attribute Nickname too, to find a recipient.
Somewhere at Mozilla (I currently don't know exactly where) you will
find a documentation how this query has to look like.
