For some reason icedove seems to mimic Outlook's behaviour w.r.t. LDAP
address books, assuming that they are read-only. Since openLDAP/slapd
can be configured to allow write privileges over secure connections, is
this necessary?

It would be great to be able to update one's address book from the
application that actually uses it. At the moment icedove pops up a
nice-looking box for a contact with fields that could be editable, but
it doesn't let you change anything.

(Yeah I know, I could always switch to Evolution.)

I have now found this thread -
https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=86405

which explains the slow progress of LDAP write access in the Mozilla
codebase. Looks like it might not be too far away now (months rather
than years).

I added an openldap addressbook to icedove (thunderbird) the binding has
full write access. I was very disappointed to see that I could not use
the ldap addressbook as a normal addressbook and create new contacts,
move them, use them, list them etcetera.

I would like to see the following features:
- use a RFC-compliant schema for contacts
- follow permissions of the ldap server
- allow full copying from and to local contacts and other ldap servers
- add some option to disable and remove all local contacts
- make it possible to list all contacts in the ldap addressbook
- use the ldap addressbook system to complete email fields

In other words I would like these features to make it more enterprise
ready. I am willing to donate money for this, how much would be needed
to get all the features that I listed?

Could you please check out the latest thunderbird 3 comm-1.9.1
nightlies and verify if those issues still exist?

If so, please file individual bugs for every feature in
bugzilla.mozilla.org and give us your bug ids so we can properly track
the progress there and help out.
