I don't think that's fair.
What I am complaining about in this case (I have many complaints ...)
is the LDAP Lookup page in KAddressBook/KMail .
You are asked to give the DN,
but what is actually wanted is the first part of the DN, not the DN proper.
But it is quite possible that I misunderstand what is meant by DN.
I assume that it means the unique identifier in each LDAP entry,
in which case it is inaccurate to describe the first part of this
("Address Book" in my case) as the "DN".

Thanks. I thought that was what I did,
but I'll have another look at it.
