Just to rule out a basic possibility... Thunderbird doesn't, by default, query an LDAP server unless you start typing something in the search box. Can you type something in the search box and see if it finds anything? It could take a couple of characters, I can't remember what the fewest is, but I definitely remember Thunderbird having this design. I guess the thinking is that it shouldn't auto-search an LDAP server because the LDAP addressbook could contain thousands of addresses, overwhelming the client in both bandwidth and sheer volume of unnecessary information.

Hope this helps.

Hi

I just installed Apache Directory Service , (both server and client).
I then followed the instructions in http://directory.apache.org/apacheds/1.0/41-mozilla-thunderbird.html

Pressing "Download now" under "Offline" in the LDAP dialog, I get "Replication succeeded".

Auto completion works fine when typing in an address in the "to:" field of a new email.

However, address book is empty. No contacts are visible even though they can be auto completed.

I use Thunderbird 2.0.0.6 and ADS 1.0.2

Anyone else have this problem?

Regards Anders
