Re: [gentoo-user] Thunderbird and local LDAP server

["Abraham Marín Pérez" <abraham@alumni.uv.es>]

It must be a different problem since Thunderbird is indeed compiled with 
ldap support enabled, in fact, I also have Evolution (also compile with 
+ldap) and can't access my local ldap server either; I guess my problem 
is not related with Thunderbird but with the server itself. I'll try 
again following Brett's links, thank you all anyway.

Regards,
Abraham
