LDAP directory. The LDAP directory makes it possible
for users to share and lookup names and email addresses from their mail client. Having the
email addresses held centrally minimizes the possibility of your users sending mail to the
wrong email address and so minimizes the associated wasted time.
The LDAP directory optionally extracts the names and addresses from all incoming and outgoing
messages and automatically adds the information to a server-based data store.
Once enabled, the LDAP directory will expose the names and addresses via an LDAP
server. This means that any LDAP client, such as Outlook Express or Outlook may use the
LDAP directory to lookup e-mail addresses from a name. Once the LDAP directory is enabled,
you will be able to open a new Compose Window in your mail client,
and enter the first few letters of a person’s name into the To: field and then press the
Check button. The mail client will communicate with Softalk Mail Server in order to determine
the full name and e-mail address of the required recipient.
