LDAP support is not quite there yet, but there will be some support
soon. In 0.8.1 on Unix platforms (including Linux), if you use
--enable-ldap and --enable-ldap-experimental, you will get ldap: URL
support. You probably don't want to use this just yet, because it
leaks an entire thread and associated resources for each ldap: URL you
visit -- this is why it's turned off in the default build. We hope to
finish LDAP-based typedown (a.k.a. autocomplete) in the headers of the
mail compose window for 0.9.
