Rich,

 Tbird logging into FDS?  What does that mean?

I have a LDAP server setup in my Tbird Address Book. To test the connection, in Tbird addr book I choose the 'Offline' tab then 'Download Now'. It asks me for a username and password - I enter them and at that point I'm back where I began in Tbird. I check the log files in FDS (access) and there are a number of entries - all those beginning with "RESULT" have "err=0". Therefore, I conclude that I am logging into FDS without error.

>From what system?  From OpenLDAP?

>From FDS.

Can you tell me how to reproduce this error?

Choose the 'Export' option on the 'Tasks' tab. Any permutation that I tried resulted in the same error (userroot).

There does not exist "officially supported" documentation either from Fedora or Red Hat or Mozilla.  You might be able to find something with Google.  I would be surprised if there were officially supported documentation from any Directory Server vendor with respect to Thunderbird integration since it's relatively new.

Uhh... Tbird/Mozilla Mail has been around for a number of years and certainly can't be called "new". I don't know about other vendors; this is the first Directory Server I have evaluated (although the Sun salesperson I spoke to told me they support Tbird - how I don't know - we'll find out next week).

thanks,
Chris Curran
