I imagine that Evolution does support LDAP, but I know for certain that
Squirrelmail does.  In fact, there was a good thread on this list
yesterday on using Squirrelmail as a front-end for Exchange.  In that
thread, someone described using LDAP to bring the Exchange global
address book into Squirrelmail.  With a little modification, this could
be applied to any LDAP server.

I don't use either Evolution or SquirrelMail and I don't know if either
or both support ldap.  Personally, I use mutt on a local session to
check my e-mail.  At home, I'm on the console, and at work I ssh into my
system.  On the rare occasions that I need to look at an attachment or
follow a link, I fire up OE and read the message using IMAP.  Mutt is a
*lot* faster for me at processing list mail.  procmail sorts and
filters, and then mutt to quickly kill threads and reply to those that
need a reply.
