Hm, that is strange. I use KDE 4.5.0 but kdepim-4.4.5. In
KAddressBook, there's Settings > Configure KAddressBook... > LDAP server
settings. Adding the server there makes at least KMail gather email
addresses.
Additionally, I the akonadi options, I can add a Akonadi LDAP Resource.
But providing the same information as I added in the KAddressBook LDAP
settings gives the error message: Cannot access to server. Please
reconfigure it.
Both configs seem to be completely disjunctive, AFAIKT...

I'll do that.

I used to use Postgres, but newer akonadi-servers refuse to work with
that. They issue options to /usr/bin/postgres that are neither known by
version 8.4 nor by 9.0beta4... So now I've migrated to MySQL (migrated
is an euphemism for "I threw away all what I've got".)
Bye,
