As far as I can see,
one has
to click on Import from LDAP Server
and then give the name in the new
window that comes up.
I don't see any simple way of transferring the
email address
given in this way to KMail,
except by copy and paste.
I
just added a LDAP server to the "LDAP server settings" in the configuration
of KAddressBook. Then the LDAP server is automatically searched for
addresses when I type a name in the "To" field in KMail. I guess that this
is what you are looking for.
