You only need to modify the configuration between:


In the configuration part, you assign values to variables that will be used at a later point in the script.

Therefore you need to amend the following line, to write it as it was initially.


Try again and see if it works.

If not, you may want to try to modify the following in your configuration part:

OK Ludo, thanks for the help, but that's all I am changing. Let's say my email name is "rudolph@150ml.com" and my password is "kungpao". Is this not correct?

# --- configuration ---
$ldapserver = "ldap.messagingengine.com";
$domain = "fastmail.fm";
$username = 'dc=rudolph@150ml.com,ou=Users';
$password = "kungpao";
$basedn = "dc=AddressBook";
# --- end configuration ---
...
$ldap->bind($username, password=>$password);

Also tried with $domain="150ml.com";

Thanks,
festus

Erm, if the above does not work, I am not sure to understand what is wrong then and unfortunately, my linux laptop is still being repaired so I cannot test it back home
Hopefully, someone else will be able to help you further.
You could also try to contact the FM support regarding the above issue or give it a go in the Gentoo forums

Thanks
Ludo

Just wondering if this might be a firewall problem (not allowing port 389 or 636, LDAP and LDAPs) through. I'm not at home to test right now. Firewall is a D-Link DIR-655.

Any thoughts?

OK - not a firewall issue.

Any help or ideas?

OK - I got it. Had to change

$username = 'dc=rudolph@150ml.com,ou=Users';
to
$username = 'cn=rudolph@150ml.com,ou=Users,dc=messagingengine,dc=com';

Now if I can just figure out how to sort this list!

Logs are here:

(evolution:14862): eab-widgets-WARNING **: EABView at present does not support multiple writes on the "source" property.

Also this thread (outside Emaildiscussions) seems to confirm the bug.
Any tips?
Thanks in advance

I noticed auto-completion using my FastMail addresses wasn't working anymore in Thunderbird. I looked up the configuration instructions on http://wiki.fastmail.fm/index.php?title=LDAP and it seemed my settings were correct.

Now, trying a few other settings, I have made the following observations:
1) SSL on ldap.messagingengine.com (port 636) doesn't seem to work (anymore)
2) non-SSL on ldap.messagingengine.com (port 389) does work
3) SSL on mail.messagingengine.com (port 636) does work

Can someone let me know if this makes "sense", especially as it is not consistent with the instructions on the wiki page.

Also, the wiki page mentions that the bug in Thunderbird regarding downloading of LDAP address books has been fixed. However, I still get (with settings 2 and 3) a "Replication failed" error, when I try to download the addressbook.

Hi rblon,

The wiki is incorrect in the sense that you have to use mail.messagingengine.com and not ldap.* See here. For a while... both ldap.* and mail.* worked. I have no idea why non-ssl still works on ldap.* though

Regarding the Thunderbird fix... Well, it is fixed, but it is only rolled out on the nightly builds or next release editions.

thx Fabaus, that makes it clear.
It seems the wiki should be changed then (not sure how actively it is maintained).
Also as it states that the Thunderbird bug is fixed, while that is actually not the case for the production release (which is the only one that is relevant for most users). Reading BugZilla now, it appears that there is a fix available for more than 2 years, but that won't be released before Thunderbird 3.

ldap.messagingengine.com is the correct server to use, not mail.messagingengine.com

I just checked, and my Outlook Express instance is still using ldap.messagingengine.com with SSL over port 636, and it's working fine.

The download bug in TB is fixed in the TB3 branch, which is currently at beta 2 stage (http://www.mozillamessaging.com/en-U...arly_releases/)

I have re-tested, but reach the same conclusion: SSL with ldap.messagingengine.com (port 636) doesn't work for me in Thunderbird. It would be interesting to see if someone else does get it working (or not) in Thunderbird.

Sorry to be pedantic about this bug-fix, but it seems we are FastMail users and not Thunderbird developers. Also, I assume the Wiki page is less than a year old, why would you add "The bug is now FIXED", while actually the status hasn't changed at all (ie the bug-fix is available in development branch for more than 2 years now)?

Hmmm. How safe is TB Beta 2 to use as a daily mailer?

[robmueller]

I have 2.0.0.16 installed. I've setup LDAP as shown in the screen shot here (scroll down to the TB one).

http://blog.fastmail.fm/2008/08/07/l...-address-book/

I have no entries in my local address book, and it searches my LDAP address book fine.

I think you should delete + re-add the LDAP account in TB.

Sorry, not sure what the state of TB 3 beta 2 is. There's a forum thread about it here.
