Turning off LDAP
On campus at 鶹Ƶ, Thunderbird is typically configured to use LDAP look up when composing messages. This feature will populate the To: field with matches when you begin typing an email address. To configure Thunderbird to use LDAP see Mozilla_Thunderbird#Configuring_Directory_Services
This feature needs to be turned off if a machine (laptop) goes off campus, as access to the LDAP information is blocked by a firewall.
To turn LDAP off:
- From the Tools menu - select Account Settings
- In the Composition and Addressing section - under the Addressing area - toggle the Use a Different LDAP Server to None.
