The company's LDAP I was trying to integrate used non-standard element names - so in addition to the other details, that was a missing link. As mentioned elsewhere, Thunderbird does not appear to do the LDAP search within the email but I can at least search within that addressbook and find people... thanks to all who contributed! thanks – the Microsoft tool to display the LDAP tree was what I needed.

Defining the Bind DN was the key. Reading your About Me section got me to send a response. I work with SIL/Wycliffe in Papua New Guinea doing audio recordings and administering a Linux server.

Our IT department weren't interested in helping out and the trick for me was using the ADAM tool referenced by Eddie above which showed me I'd been using the wrong hostname to the one I thought was used. After that, and with your remaining instructions the rest was gravy and I can now kiss outlook goodbye. Yay Thanks for this – I’ve been struggling with getting thunderbird addressbook to work for ages and your notes made the difference.

The biggest help was using the ADAM Tool from Microsoft. Follow this link and use the tool. Open the excel file copy the DN field in cell A1 and paste all of it into the base dn field except for your username. Excellent! I finally got it!
