4 Here is a problem that I've been facing for a while too ;-(
5
6 Adding an LDAP server in Thunderbird, basically all Mozilla releases
7 from 1.x.x. and up were giving the same result ..You add the LDAP server
8 and it will not show up in the end.No errors or anything ..
9 In my case the LDAP server in question is, Netscape's / Sun Iplanet..
10
11 I tested on different machines with different versions of X and window
12 managers...all on gentoo..same result..
13
14 I ended up using Netscape 7.2 which did work ..
15
16 Now I've recently installed the thunderbird-bin package from portage and
17 guess what .. IT WORKS !!!
18
19 I tried the source package ..and no luck.,..You would start to think
20 that it is not compiled in building from source on gentoo.
21 I did'nt look into it in detail though , so can't really make a
22 statement on that..
23
24 Just my experience with LDAP / Mozilla...
