You could have transformed your original address book into a blue one by
going into the properties and disabling the option 'this address book is
associated with an LDAP server.
I'd advise that you not keep your addresses in address books associated
with LDAP servers. That's if you plan to do LDAP searches.

DH>> addresses.
CL> sounds good, but i wonder how well it actually works. Have you ever

CL> Are they harvested by spambots?
If you wish to look up an e-mail address, then hit the search button on
the toolbar or hit F7 with the address book open.
This will bring up a popup dialog. You can then fill in the particulars of
the search and then choose where you wish to perform the search. You can
choose one of your personal address book/address book groups or you can
choose an LDAP server associated address book or you can choose a
combination.
If you choose an LDAP server associated address book and hit 'start', TB!
will connect to the LDAP server the address book is configured to use, and
the server will be searched. The results will be listed in *both* the
Search results and in the LDAP associated address book. The contents of
the LDAP address book and the search results will be overwritten with each
search done on the associated LDAP server!!! So, if you have personal
addresses in the LDAP address book and do a search on it, they will be
overwritten. If you found an address you wish to keep, then copy it over
to your personal address book before performing another LDAP search. I
learnt this the hard way. Luckily I had a backup.
If you do a search on your address books that are not LDAP server
associated, then the search results will be displayed only in the search
results.
So, the search result field will display *all* addresses found and will be
overwritten with each search. The LDAP server address book will display
addresses found only on the server with which it is associated and the
results will be overwritten with each search. With this arrangement, if
you do multiple LDAP server searches, you'd then be able to tell which
address was found where, and you can peruse all the addresses found,
together, in the search results.
Hope that helps. :-)
