 **You can link LDAP to your Thunderbird Mail Client**
+Click 'Aide'
+{{wiki:ldap_thunderbirdconfig.png|Thunderbird config}}
+Open Thunderbird Mail Client
+Go to Address Book / File / New
+{{wiki:ldap_thunderb_config2.png| Name & Host}}
+- Name: constant
+- Host: directory.constantvzw.org
+- add Base/Search DN
+Go to Edit / Preferences / Composition / Addressing / Address Autocompletion: mark 'Directory Server' as default
+{{wiki:ldap_thunderbconfig4.png| Mark Directory Server}}
+In the list of addresses you'll see a little globe named Constant, right click on Properties and edit the 'Advanced'-section as follows:
+{{wiki:ldap_thunderbconfig3.png| Advanced}}
+By selecting 'Offline' you can also download the entire LDAP-listing on your computer
+----------------------------------------
+**Now you can use LDAP in Thunderbird!**
+Some useful details:
+- Searching: default searching is like a phonebook (per letter/name) - by inserting [space] into the Thunderbird Search box, you get a full listing of the LDAP
+- each search shows you max 4 tags - so our proposal: do not add more than 4 tags in the LDAP-listing
+-------------------------------------------
+**Hope you join LDAP soon!!!!!**
