For general LDAP questions you might find [email protected] more helpful since

The big question is what your LDAP-enabled MUAs or other LDAP clients expect
in the attribute 'mail' or how you can configure the clients used to handle
other attributes etc. E.g. I don't any MUA which handles multiple attribute
values in 'mail' in a smart way. Simply the first value is taken.
I guess at the end you'll find yourself to add separate entries for all e-mail
adresses and office locations.
