I could setup openldap, and my thunderbird can connect to it. But I 
cannot add persons to that address book. I also asked this on the 
openldap mailing list, but I had no answer since two days. I read 
somewhere that Thunderbird requires a special schema to be present on 
the LDAP server. Anybody out there who could use openldap with thinderbird?

Thanks,
