Contacts setup
This the tricky part. I
am posting the settings/steps that worked for me after reading
numerous forums on the internet
Steps
- Launch address book (CTRL+SHIFT+B)
- Menu -> File -> New -> LDAP directoryYou should see “Directory Server Properties” window
- Setup the window with following settings
- Name: Name of the addressbook (could be any string)
- Hostname: name of the ldap server (in my case it was thecompanyname.co.in)
- Base DN: Samples -
- dc=companyname,dc=co,dc=in
- dc=companyname,dc=com
- Port number: Change 389 to 3268This step is very very important, 389 works but is really very very slow. 3268 works and is quite fast.
- Press OK to exit the dialogYou now lookup contact details in the address book. Password will be asked for the first time.
- Thunderbird->menu->Edit->Preferences->Composition->Addressing-> Check “Directory Server: ” and select the created addressbook.This will help in auto completion of email addresses while writing new mails.
www.1st-setup.nl is dead. Does anyone know where I can get the plugin Exchange 2007/2010 Calendar and Tasks Provider 3.1.1 for Thunderbird 17? I don't give a rats ass about the email, it's the exchange calendar I need to sync with something on ubuntu. Google Sync might have been a solution except it is now defunct. Any suggestions?
ReplyDeleteLast time I checked (June 2017), that plugin was being maintained at github.com/ExchangeCalendar/exchangecalendar and downloads were available at https://github.com/ExchangeCalendar/exchangecalendar/releases
ReplyDeleteAlthough the last release was in July 2017, it seems the project is still alive there. (See e.g. GitHub's "Insights" tab: https://github.com/ExchangeCalendar/exchangecalendar/pulse , where you can see pull requests having been filed and merged recently.)
Pretty great post. I simply stumbled upon your weblog and wanted to mention that I’ve really enjoyed surfing around your blog posts.
