 When you're accessing a local LDAP server, you might prefer a regular
 updating of TB's cache, but when you're accessing an LDAP server on
 the Internet (especially via a dial-up connection), you might prefer
 TB to keep the search result in a cache, until you decide to start a
 new search

Hmmm. I suppose so.  I deleted all the LDAP address books that come
with TB!, so I can't have a play.  Anybody have settings for a useful
directory that I can try out?

OK, NOT: means NOT Off topic... (at least I don't think)

If people wish to have an address book that integrates with TB!, then
isn't that the wrong way of looking at it?

TB! supports LDAP address books, so all you need to find is an address
book that allows LDAP access.

OR am I missing the point?

I've used WinDates for years and like it as a calendar and
appointment/event reminder.  It's not a PIM and not free ($20).
It supports events for all users on a network as well as personal
events.

There's a free trial to see if you like it:

Actually, a while ago, I spent a lot of time looking for a PIM that
would fully integrate it's address book with the e-mail application.
Other than Outlook, it doesn't exist.

You can certainly export address book data from one to the other, but
that is not only a pain, but also forces you to update your address
book in one place.  Add to that the incompatible formats.

I've been hoping that someone would write a conduit to the Palm for
TB.  I'm not a programmer, otherwise I'd do it.  That, for me would be
the perfect solution.  The Palm desktop is all I need.

I agree that Time  Chaos is good.  It even has a Palm conduit.  But,
still no way to coordinate address books.  As most PIMs allow close
coordination between the address book and other functions, like
scheduling an appointment with a particular individual (drag and drop
kinda thing), you have an immediate problem with an external e-mail
program.  Yes, I understand that you can launch a mail program from a
PIM, but not vise-versa.

So, to make TB perfect, how about a Palm conduit?

Outlook works fine with TB!. I prefer Outlook as a PIM because I have
a PPC-based pda, and it is much less of a hassle to sync with Outlook
than non-MS pims. (But I do use a third-party pim on the handheld.)

I also like Outlook because most of the birthday/anniversary/holiday
tracking programs for PPC-based pdas rely on the appropriate fields in
Outlook on the PC.

Hi,

I   switched  from  Outlook  to  WinPIM  about  a  year  ago.  Excellent  little
application,  unless you really need the very advanced features of outlook, this
program  will do whatever's asked of it. A sync utility for both Palm and PPC is
available separately. As is an Outlook converter, available free for download.

Yep, but you would miss lots of items that you can store and access in

consider an LDAP AB a good alternative for TB's AB.
Besides that after changing your LDAP AB, you'd need to start a new
