steps:
- on thunderbird, go to Tools->address book
- a new window pops-up. go to File->New->LDAP Directory
- a new small window pops up.
- name =
- hostname = check in outlook. Else, most probably if your mail server is ..com, your hostname for address book will be .com
- BASE DN = dc=y,dc=com
- port number = 3268 ( default port 389 did not work for me)
- bind DN = domain\username
- do not check "use secure...."
- click OK
- right click on the address book you have created, click properties, go to 'offline' tab
- click "Download Now"
- you should get a 'replication succeeded" message.
- To test, compose a mail. go to view->contacts sidebar
- type some half name in search bar that it shows. suggestions should pop up. Now its working for you!.
- If you would thunderbird to auto-search names form global address book while you type name in "To" list, go to edit->preferences->composition->addressing, check "Directory server" option and chose the global address book that you just created from the drop down menu. click OK.
- now open a new mail window, start typing some name, observe suggestions that thunderbird shows up!!! Works wonderfully!
