Directories change content constantly, meaning you'd have to perform the LDIF dump every time you opened Communicator. If it's a directory with 20,000 or so entries, this will make starting Communicator an all-morning affair over a modem. I am aware of Netscape's online address book features, but I don't want to join yet another portal to get a feature that had no business being yanked. For companies that are, the online option isn't viable, but LDAP via SSL is. Except for the address book mistake, PR3 is a nice improvement over PR2.
Basic capabilities are in place, and it's time to speed it up.
LDAP is just too critical to business and education. I hope this is fixed, because otherwise, I have no choice but to replace Netscape with another e-mail client. All rights reserved. Reproduction in whole or in part in any form or medium without express written permission is prohibited.
