I hit the same brick wall you did. It seems that the current thunderbird does *not* support LDAP at all (although it does present it as an option). I tried from an example on a website (to test with their ldap), aswell as random "off-my-head" values but it does not append it to the address book. Maybe it's a thunderbird bug, I don't know (I haven't looked yet)? All I'm doing here is confirming your problem, not solving it (although I would be interested if there is a solution) ;-) Maybe it requires openldap to be installed (I only installed it so far on my server, not workstation)?
