           Summary: Missing LDAP attributes and inconsistent handling of
                    e-mail addresses
           Product: kdepimlibs
           Version: 4.3
          Platform: Ubuntu Packages
        OS/Version: Linux
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: normal
          Priority: NOR
         Component: kpimidentities
        AssignedTo: kdepim-bugs at kde.org
        ReportedBy: rdratlos at yahoo.co.uk
                CC: kdepim-bugs at kde.org


Version:            (using KDE 4.3.2)
OS:                Linux
Installed from:    Ubuntu Packages

The "mail" element in inetOrgPerson LDAP schema is multi-valued, allowing
multiple email adresses to be stored in there. KAddressbook does display them
correctly.

When saving an entry with multiple email addresses, only the first one is
stored in the "mail" element, the others are lost.

In addition, the preferred e-mail can be lost if using mail AND mailAlias
attribute.

The e-mail related part of this problem was also reported earlier, but due to
wrong assignment to kaddressbook it has not been solved, yet. See e. g.
https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=140231.

Furthermore, some addressbook attributes that are used by kaddressbook and
other applications (e. g. Outlook) can not be mapped to LDAP directory
attributes. These are, e. g. country, birthday, office, department, homepage,
nicknames.
